Harris, Julie A. Nelson, Brian Roach, Mariano Torras Routledge This is a revolutionary and powerfully argued feminist analysis of modern economics, revealing how woman's housework, caring of the young, sick and the old is automatically excluded from value in economic theory.

Blinder, Andrew W. Loh, Robert M. Solow Russell Sage Foundation This chapter discusses the role of gender in economic relations, processes, and outcomes.

Francesca Sanders and Nina Schubert Exploring Economics In this essay, the principle of capital accumulation, as well as the idea of homo economicus as the basis of the growth model, are located and analyzed from a feminist perspective. The sufficiency approach is presented as an alternative to these two economic logics. 2018 Level: leicht Enough! The Sufficiency Approach and the Limits of Economic Growth Fernanda Nacif Exploring Economics In this essay the authors argue for a wider concept of care work that includes community building, civic engagement and environmental activism.

Furthermore, the whole process is useful for understanding the history of contemporary capitalism. 2020 Level: leicht On the Rate of Profit Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics 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. 2020 Level: mittel Bentham’s Two Sovereign Masters - Examining Bentham’s Influence on the Social Sciences Jerome Warren Exploring Economics The last 15 years have seen extensive research into ecosystem service valuation (ESV), spurred by the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005 (Baveye, Baveye & Gowdy, 2016). Ecosystem services are defined as “the benefits people obtain from ecosystems” (Millenium Ecosystem Assessment, p.V). For example, ecosystems provide the service of sequestering carbon which helps regulate the climate. Valuation means giving ecosystems or their services a monetary price, for example researchers have estimated that the carbon sequestration services of the Mediterranean Sea is between 100 and 1500 million euros per year. The idea of ESV was a response to the overuse of natural resources and degradation of ecosystems, allegedly due to their undervaluation and exclusion from the monetary economy. ESV can be used (1) for policy decision-making, for example allocating funding to a reforestation project (2) for setting payments to people who increase ecosystem services, for example a farmer increasing the organic carbon content of their soil, and (3) for determining fees for people who degrade ecosystem services, for example a company that causes deforestation. 2021 Level: leicht A Pluralist Perspective on Ecosystem Service Valuation Introduction Maya Exploring Economics Introduction Economics is by necessity a multi paradigmatic science Several theoretical structures exist side by side and each theory can never be more than a partial theory Rothschild 1999 Likening scientific work to the self coordinating invisible hand of the market Michael Polanyi cautioned strongly against centralized attempts to steer … 2021 Level: leicht Making Many Maps: Why We Need an Interested Pluralism in Economics and How to Get There Patrick Leon Gross Patrick Léon Gross Marxian Political Economy focuses on the exploitation of labour by capital.

Komplexitätsökonomik     This article outlines the fundamental challenges of democratically planned economies and categorises proposed models into six groups, each of which approaches planning and coordination at different levels of authority and between myriad economic units in a particular way, taking into account efficiency as well as democratic principles and environmental and social sustainability. Through a classification system based on decision-making authority and mediation mechanisms, the article provides a framework for understanding and comparing these models. By examining their different approaches, it offers insights into the complexities and potential paths of democratically planned economies in the 21st century. 2024 Level: leicht Rethinking Democratic Economic Planning: An Overview Jakob Heyer Exploring Economics This course focus on the behaviour of individuals from an pluralist economic and an interdisciplinary bevavioural science apprach. 2020 Level: mittel Actors, Behaviours and Decision Processes Sigrid Stagl and Roman Hausmann University of Vienna Sporting events can be seen as controlled, real-world, miniature laboratory environments, approaching the idea of “holding other things equal” when exploring the implications of decisions, incentives, and constraints in a competitive setting (Goff and Tollison 1990, Torgler 2009).
