Ihre Erklärungs- und Deutungslogik hat die Ökonomik in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts selbstbewusst auf nahezu alle gesellschaftlichen Phänomene ausgedehnt. Auch auf Diskriminierung und Rassismus. Leider dreht sich auch bei diesem Thema die Mainstream-Ökonomik um sich selbst, argumentieren Steffen Haag und Elena Goschin.
Ökonomie der Diskriminierung
First published in 1983. A collection of papers directed at those outside the field of Economics, to open up discussions around the scientific worth of Economics.

Reflecting his own concerns about the contribution economics could make to the betterment of society, Eli Ginzberg published this study of Smith's humanitarian views on commerce, industrialism, and labor. Written for his doctoral degree at Columbia University, and originally published as The House of Adam Smith, the book is divided into two parts.
Adam Smith and the Founding of Market Economics
In this lecture Ben Fine aims at stimulating interest for and explaining the relevance of Marxist Political Economy. Ben Fine dedicates the first half of his comprehensible lecture to the question on how mainstream economics became the way it is by explaining its key concepts and how those evolved during the past 150 years. While critically reflecting those concept he also emphasizes that mainstream economics does not consider historical processes. This is the point of departure on his presentation of the core terms and crucial categories of Marxist Political Economy: e.g. the production process and class relations (Part 1). Part 2 examines the consequences of the capitalist mode of production and its propensity to crises. Ben Fine illustrates this Marxist analysis with the example of the current crisis and explains current conditions for the accumulation of capital.

In this lecture Mirowski claims that a good critique of and alternative to neoclassical economics should focus on microeconomics. In addition, he claims that mainstream economics is not about a specific "human nature", instead the understanding of markets (partially based on Hayek) is of special importance. As an alternative Mirowski proposes institutionalist economics that builds upon how markets work nowadays (e.g. links to computer science).
Should Economists be Experts in Markets or in Human Nature?
The first keynote speech was given by Sebastian Dullien, current spokesperson of FMM and who is one of the most well-known German economists in applied European economics and a very active contributor to the pluralist debate. Sebastian discusses the strategy of “running with the pack” by using orthodox methods to disseminate pluralist economics and politics. Referring to diverse examples Sebastian addresses the pros and cons of “running with the pack” and proposes alternative approaches to achieve more pluralism in economics.
How to promote alternative macroeconomic ideas: Are there limits to running with the (mainstream) pack?
„Textbook Economics" ist mittlerweile zu einer eigenen Problemkategorie avanciert. Gemeint sind damit die Lehren, die aus dem neoklassischen Standardmodell für die grundständige Bildung, Politikberatung und Öffentlichkeitskommunikation abgeleitet werden.
Textbook Economics – Hintergründe, aktuelle Analysen und Alternativen
The article is a formal response to the debate between the economists Diane Coyle and Howard Reed, whose articles were published online by Prospect magazine in 2018. Then, it was taken by Rethinking Economics as representative for the vision of the global network which advocates for changing economics curricula. In fact, it clearly solves some issues within the debate around pluralism by explaining its common misunderstandings among academics and its true - often mislead - meaning.
Deliberate Misunderstandings in Economics: What Pluralism Really Means
Nach dem vorherrschenden Verständnis ist Geld vor allem eine sehr individualistische Sache. Doch wenn wir es als öffentliche Infrastruktur verstehen, bekommen wir auch ein anderes Bild von uns Menschen und unserem Zusammenleben. Ein Beitrag von Jakob Feinig.
Fünf Thesen zu einer moralischen Ökonomie des Geldes
Die Zeit, um den Klimakollaps allein mit marktkonformen Instrumenten abzuwenden, ist abgelaufen – jetzt helfen nur mehr Verbrauchsminderungen. Und durch eine Wegbesteuerung des desaströsen Überkonsums können zugleich die Mittel für den Aufbau einer regenerativen Infrastruktur verfügbar gemacht werden.
Nur eine progressive Steuerrevolution kann den Klimakollaps vielleicht noch aufhalten
This is an online panel and discussion on the ongoing and potential gendered impacts of COVID-19 organized by the International Association of Feminist Economics (IAFFE).
Feminist Economics Perspectives on COVID-19
The principle of effective demand, and the claim of its validity for a monetary production economy in the short and in the long run, is the core of heterodox macroeconomics, as currently found in all the different strands of post-Keynesian economics (Fundamentalists, Kaleckians, Sraffians, Kaldorians, Institutionalists) and also in some strands of neo-Marxian economics, particularly in the monopoly capitalism and underconsumptionist school In this contribution, we will therefore outline the foundations of the principle of effective demand and its relationship with the respective notion of a capitalist or a monetary production economy in the works of Marx, Kalecki and Keynes. Then we will deal with heterodox short-run macroeconomics and it will provide a simple short-run model which is built on the principle of effective demand, as well as on distribution conflict between different social groups (or classes): rentiers, managers and workers. Finally, we will move to the long run and we will review the integration of the principle of effective demand into heterodox/post-Keynesian approaches towards distribution and growth.

Teaching feminist economics is a relatively new didactical project posing questions of content and methodology for instructors. The article proposes three possible topics with regard to the changing nature of the emergent research field: introducing feminist economics as a mode of questioning, showing its historicity and spectrum, and asking the question of a unifying paradigm.

This article applies insights from behavioral economics to consider how the general public may make decisions around whether or not to receive a future COVID-19 vaccine in a context of frequent side effects and preexisting mistrust. Three common cognitive biases shown to influence human decision-making under a behavioral economics framework are considered confirmation bias, negativity bias, and optimism bias.
