Environmental catastrophe looms large over politics: from the young person’s climate march to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, increasing amounts of political space are devoted to the issue. Central to this debate is the question of whether economic growth inevitably leads to environmental issues such as depleted finite resources and increased waste, disruption of natural cycles and ecosystems, and of course climate change. Growth is the focal point of the de-growth and zero-growth movements who charge that despite efficiency gains, increased GDP always results in increased use of energy and emissions. On the other side of the debate, advocates of continued growth (largely mainstream economists) believe that technological progress and policies can ‘decouple’ growth from emissions.

Unsere ökologischen Lebensgrundlagen sind in Gefahr – aber woran liegt das und wie kann man das verändern? Breite Unterstützung genießen „grüne“ Technologien, von ihnen wird die Trendwende zu einem nachhaltigen Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen erwartet. Kontrovers wird hingegen diskutiert, wie tief die Ursachen der ökologischen Krise in den sozio-ökonomischen Strukturen, Lebensweisen und Weltsichten unserer modernen kapitalistischen Gesellschaft wurzeln.
Green New Deal, Suffizienz oder Ökosozialismus?
Some economic events are so major and unsettling that they “change everything.” Such is the case with the financial crisis that started in the summer of 2007 and is still a drag on the world economy. Yet enough time has now elapsed for economists to consider questions that run deeper than the usual focus on the immediate causes and consequences of the crisis.

Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital
Written by the Nobel Prize winners in Economics Robert Shiller and George Akerlof, this book shows how deception and manipulation play a big role in the economic behavior of individuals, as well as showing how the assumption of "perfect information" is far away from the truth. Through both quantitative data and stories of how to reduce this noxious phenomenon, the authors paint a pretty different picture of how markets really works in a hyper-communicative scenario like nowadays.

In 18th century Europe figures such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Friedrich List and Jean Baptiste Colbert developed theories regarding international trade, which either embraced free trade seeing it as a positive sum game or recommended more cautious and strategic approaches to trade seeing it as a potential danger and a rivalry and often as a zero-sum game. What about today?

Bidding farewell to growth: How to provide welfare in a degrowth society
Im Angesicht der Klimakrise und der Fridays-for-Future-Proteste hat das Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik unter #Economists4Future dazu aufgerufen, Impulse für neues ökonomisches Denken zu setzen und bislang wenig beachtete Aspekte der Klimaschutzdebatte in den Fokus zu rücken. Dabei geht es beispielsweise um den Umgang mit Unsicherheiten und Komplexität sowie um Existenzgrundlagen und soziale Konflikte. Außerdem werden vielfältige Wege hin zu einer klimafreundlichen Wirtschaftsweise diskutiert – unter anderem Konzepte eines europäischen Green New Deals oder Ansätze einer Postwachstumsökonomie. Hier finden Sie alle Beiträge, die im Rahmen der Serie erschienen sind.
Economists for Future - Debattenimpulse
Die scheinbare Eindeutigkeit der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Analyse von Maßnahmen gaukelt eine Berechenbarkeit vor, die nichts mit der Realität zu tun hat. Vielmehr braucht es gerade in der Klimapolitik einen Ansatz, der flexibel reagieren kann und gleichzeitig die Entwicklung neuer innovativer Lösungen befördert: das sogenannte agile Politikdesign.
Warum wir eine agile Klimapolitik brauchen
In the history of the social sciences, few individuals have exerted as much influence as has Jeremy Bentham. His attempt to become “the Newton of morals” has left a marked impression upon the methodology and form of analysis that social sciences like economics and political science have chosen as modus operandi.
