Der „große Zwiespalt“ zwischen Effizienz und Gerechtigkeit: Realität oder Ideologie?
Economics is extremely sick. It is so locked in its past that nearly all of its introductory textbooks are modelled on one that appeared in 1948. The discipline cannot continue in its autistic state much longer.

Das Studium der Volkswirtschaftslehre bietet einen Einblick in den Maschinenraum derjenigen Wissenschaft, welche eigentlich die Funktionsweise unserer Wirtschaft untersuchen sollte. Leider bleibt es jedoch dabei: Die Student*in lernt wenig darüber, wie das Wirtschaften als komplexes Zusammenspiel verschiedener Beteiligter tatsächlich funktioniert oder funktionieren könnte. Ein Beitrag von Jörn Schirok.

Starting with the quote by Adam Smith in "The Wealth of Nations" on the invisible hand, it shows how economics deals with the question of the allocation of scarce resources and shortly presents different questions addressed by microeconomics and macroeconomics. It further makes reference to questions of simplification in mathematical models.

Die zunehmende Digitalisierung von Lernmaterialien verstärkt bereits bestehende Problemfelder: Zum einen verschlechtert sich das in den letzten Jahren ohnehin angespannte Verhältnis von geltendem Urheberrecht und alltagsdidaktischer Praxis. Die sich wandelnde Technik macht die digitale Verbreitung, Veränderung und die Wiederaufbereitung bestehender Materi- alien immer einfacher. Lehrer_innen und Schüler_innen bewegen sich damit jedoch oft in rechtlichen Graubereichen oder sogar außerhalb der Grenzen des Urheberrechtes.

Coronavirus Economics and the Eurozone
As the Covid-19 fueled economic downturn begins to intensify this winter, an extended study of the Italian cooperative sector’s historical resilience in times of crisis can serve as a learning experience for other countries seeking to create policies that foster more stable economies, with job security, care for marginalized communities and adequate counter-cyclical policies. Particularly, the Italian cooperative sector’s contributions to three aspects should be noted in closing. Firstly, the innovative phenomenon of cooperative enterprises has contributed to social inclusion of immigrant communities, the activation of youth, the unemployed and people with disabilities, a true compensation for both a market and state failure. Secondly, they have contributed to a reduction in income and wealth inequalities at a time when the issue of inequality is of global significance. Thirdly, the Italian cooperative movement has helped local communities revitalize in the face of demographic shifts and rendered them more resilient to the ravages of globalization. Each of these in their own right is a remarkable achievement.

The article compares market fundamentalism and right-wing populism on the basis of its core patterns of thinking and reasoning. Based on an analysis of important texts in both fields we find many similarities of these two concepts in their "inner images". Thus, we develop a scheme of the similar dual social worlds of right-wing-populism and market fundamentalism and offer some recent examples of market fundamentalism and right-wing populism mutually reinforcing each other or serving as a gateway for each other. We then apply our scheme for the analysis of the recent political developments and its ideological roots in the US under Donald Trump.
Right-wing populism and market-fundamentalism: Two mutually reinforcing threats to democracy in the 21st century
