This book provides a far-reaching overview of the development of radical ecology and heterodox economics on the issues of sustainability.
Conceptualising an Alternative Political Economy of Sustainability
Environmental cost-benefit analysis was developed by economists in the belief that monetary valuation of the environmental repercussions of economic activity is essential if the "environment " stands any chance of being included in government and business decisions.
Alternatives for Environmental Valuation
In its first edition, this book helped to define the emerging field of ecological economics. This new edition surveys the field today. It incorporates all of the latest research findings and grounds economic inquiry in a more robust understanding of human needs and behavior.
Ecological Economics - Principles and Applications
Commons - die Welt gehört uns allen! Die nicht enden wollende globale Finanzkrise zeigt: Markt und Staat haben versagt. Deshalb verwundert es nicht, dass die Commons, die Idee der gemeinschaftlichen Organisation und Nutzung von Gemeingütern und Ressourcen, starken Zuspruch erfahren - nicht erst seit dem Wirtschaftsnobelpreis für Elinor Ostrom.

This book provides a new methodological approach to money and macroeconomics. Realizing that the abstract equilibrium models lacked descriptions of fundamental issues of a modern monetary economy, the focus of this book lies on the (stylized) balance sheets of the main actors. Money, after all, is born on the balance sheets of the central bank or commercial bank.
Modern Monetary Theory and European Macroeconomics
Wie werden demokratische Übergänge zu einem Leben und Wirtschaften möglich, deren Qualität und Stabilität nicht vom permanenten ökonomischen Wachstum abhängen? Reicht dafür eine Bottom-up-Strategie? Reichen all die Non-profit-Unternehmen, Tauschläden und Kulturen des Selbermachens als Keime einer im Entstehen begriffenen Postwachstumsökonomie und -gesellschaft?
Postwachstumspolitiken
Der Kurs richtet sich an Interessierte, die einen Überblick über gängige Modellierungsansätze in der Makroökonomik erhalten wollen. Dabei habe ich versucht, Ansätze aus unterschiedlichen Paradigmen zu berücksichtigen, notwendigerweise auf Kosten einer gewissen Tiefe bei den einzelnen Modellierungsframeworks. Der Kurs setzt ein gewisses mathematisches Grundverständnis voraus, sollte aber für fortgeschrittene Bachelor-Studierende der Ökonomik und Master-Studierende von interdisziplinären Studienprogrammen gut geeignet sein. Die Themenauswahl ist natürlich notwendigerweise selektiv. Der erste, größere Abschnitt diskutiert Modelle für wirtschaftlichen Wandel in der langen Frist (Wachstumsmodelle). Der zweite, kürzere Abschnitte behandelt dann Modelle, welche versuchen eine langfristige mit einer kurzfristigen Perspektive zu verbinden.
Makroökonomische Modelle - Ein multiparadigmatischer Überblick
Ist die Ökonomik eine menschenfeindliche Wissenschaft? In den Diskussionen um den Sozialstaat kommen immer wieder Annahmen zum Vorschein, die dem Menschen negative Charaktereigenschaften zusprechen. Dabei fällt vor allem ein Zusammenspiel zwischen ökonomischen Argumenten und negativen Menschenbildern auf.
Der Ökonom als Menschenfeind?
In seinem Buch, wirft Quinn Slobodian einen neuen Blick auf die Geschichte von Freihandel und neoliberaler Globalisierung. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei eine Gruppe von Ökonomen um Friedrich von Hayek und Wilhelm Röpke. Getrieben von der Angst, nationale Massendemokratien könnten durch Zölle oder Kapitalverkehrskontrollen das reibungslose Funktionieren der Weltwirtschaft stören, bestand ihre Vision darin, den Markt auf der globalen Ebene zu verrechtlichen und so zu schützen.
Globalisten
Das bewährte Konzept, durch Frage und Antwort in die zu lösenden Probleme einzuführen, ist auch in der fünften Auflage beibehalten worden. Dadurch wird der Leser in das ökonomische Denken eingeübt und lernt nicht nur vorgedachtes Wissen, das er doch spätestens wenige Monate nach dem Examen wieder vergisst.
Neue Mikroökonomie
Gender, Development, and Globalization is the leading primer on global feminist economics and development. Lourdes Benería, a pioneer in the field of feminist economics, is joined in this second edition by Gunseli Berik and Maria Floro to update the text to reflect the major theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions and global developments in the last decade.

Philipp Lenhard erzählt auf einer breiten Quellengrundlage die Geschichte der Personen, Netzwerke, Ideen und Orte, die das Institut für Sozialforschung geprägt haben und ihrerseits von ihm geformt wurden. So wird anschaulich greifbar, warum die Frankfurter Schule wie keine zweite die großen intellektuellen Debatten des 20. Jahrhunderts bestimmt hat

"Energy issues have always been important in international relations, but in recent years may have become even more important than in the past due to the widespread awareness of existing limits to energy sources and negative climate impacts. The course discusses global trends in energy consumption and production, various available scenarios for potential developments in the coming decades, the availability of oil reserves and the evolution of the oil industry. It then discusses natural gas and highlights the differences between oil and gas. It will also discuss renewable energy sources, nuclear energy and EU energy policy.
The course aims at providing students whose main interest is in international relations a background on energy resources, technology and economic realities to allow them to correctly interpret the political impact of current developments. It also aims at providing students, who already have a technical background in energy science or engineering, with the broad global view of energy issues that will allow them to better understand the social, economic and political impact of their technical knowledge."

Ulrike Herrmann's "Das Ende des Kapitalismus" ist ein spannendes und auch für Nicht-Expert*innen verständlich geschriebenes Buch. Es bietet einen guten Überblick darüber, warum es einen strukturellen Widerspruch zwischen dem Fortbestehen des Kapitalismus und dem Klimaschutz gibt.
Das Ende des Kapitalismus
Leigh Phillips and Michal Rozworski examine the apparent contradiction between the demise of real-existing socialism and the rise of large corporations engaging in planning every day, making a strong argument that these planning efforts should be transformed to now fulfil the needs of the people.

Colonialism and Modern Social Theory
This is the first intermediate microeconomics textbook to offer both a theoretical and real-world grounding in the subject. Relying on simple algebraic equations, and developed over years of classroom testing, it covers factually oriented models in addition to the neoclassical paradigm, and goes beyond theoretical analysis to consider practical realities.
Intermediate Microeconomics
Despite some diversification modern economics still attracts a great deal of criticism. This is largely due to highly unrealistic assumptions underpinning economic theory, explanatory failure, poor policy framing, and a dubious focus on prediction. Many argue that flaws continue to owe much of their shortcomings to neoclassical economics.
What is Neoclassical Economics?
From religious leaders to heads of state, everyone is talking about economic inequality. What form can such inequality take in different countries? What impact does it have on society? And why should it matter to you?
Challenging Wealth and Income Inequality
This book challenges the mainstream paradigm, based on the inter-temporal optimisation of welfare by individual agents. It introduces a methodology for studying how institutions create flows of income, expenditure and production together with stocks of assets and liabilities, thereby determining how whole economies evolve through time.
Monetary Economics
Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show in this book, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees.
Trade Wars Are Class Wars

Examine what would happen if we were to deploy blockchain technology at the sovereign level and use it to create a decentralized cashless economy. This book explains how finance and economics work today, and how the convergence of various technologies related to the financial sector can help us find solutions to problems, such as excessive debt creation, banks getting too big to fail, and shadow banking.
The Blockchain Alternative
Viele glauben: Die Wirtschaft funktioniert nach den Gesetzen der Logik. Doch das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Die Wirtschaft wird erschüttert von immer neuen Krisen, ihre Akteure – Notenbanker, Manager, Politiker – sind oft getrieben von Wahnvorstellungen und Persönlichkeitsstörungen.

The bestselling classic that examines the history of economic thought from Adam Smith to Karl Marx—“all the economic lore most general readers conceivably could want to know, served up with a flourish” (The New York Times). The Worldly Philosophers not only enables us to see more deeply into our history but helps us better understand our own times. In this seventh edition, Robert L. Heilbroner provides a new theme that connects thinkers as diverse as Adam Smith and Karl Marx.
The Worldly Philosophers
The objective of this MOOC is to develop an understanding of the problems related to water management. Firstly, this course will define a resource and, more specifically, the resource of water. It will look at how water is used and the activities associated with it as well as any potential conflicts. The course will look at water management in detail through the analysis of the different types of rights and obligations associated with, for example, the development of a multi-sectorial regulation system or a watershed management approach.
Water Resource Management and Policy
New Tools of Economic Dynamics gives an introduction and overview of recently developed methods and tools, most of them developed outside economics, to deal with the qualitative analysis of economic dynamics. It reports the results of a three-year research project by a European and Latin American network on the intersection of economics with mathematical, statistical, and computational methods and techniques.
New Tools of Economic Dynamics
Thirty-years of economic transformation has turned China into one of the major players in the global capitalist economy. However, its economic growth has generated rising problems in inequality, alienation, and sustainability with the agrarian crises of the 1990s giving rise to real social outcry to the extent that they became the object of central government policy reformulations.
