Finanzwende e.V. & Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, Sylvie Goulard, Daniela Gabor, Frank van Lerven Transformative Responses, Heinrich-Böll-Foundation & Finanzwende The 2022 FIFA World Cup (including the construction work required for it) provides a clear example of economic activity that has taken place despite the financial costs to the Qatari state being an order of magnitude larger than the financial benefits it will receive. Whilst this is a fairly extreme case in terms of how many different costs and benefits are involved and how unequally they have been spread, many economic decisions are more complicated than mere financial calculations and it is therefore vital for students to be able to think about multiple dimensions involved in economic decisions. 2023 Level: leicht The Economics of a World Cup in Qatar Economy Studies Economy Studies It is perhaps fitting that the seriousness of the coronavirus threat hit most of the Western world around the Ides of March, the traditional day of reckoning of outstanding debts in Ancient Rome. After all, problems and imbalances have accumulated in the Western capitalist system over four decades, ostensibly since it took the neoliberal road out of the 1970s crisis and kept going along it, heedless of the crises and problems it led to. 2020 Level: leicht The Unexpected Reckoning: Coronavirus and Capitalism Radhika Desai Canadian Dimesion Lukas Zeise gives an overview of economic and financial crises in the past decades (since 80s).

A global perspective Anne Löscher Summer Academy 2022 for Pluralist Economics Economist and politician Costas Lapavitsas: presents differing theoretical definitions of financialization, namely from Marxist and Post-Keynesian thinkers and compares their approaches.

Almost a decade after this crisis, policy is still unable to provide all citizens greater wellbeing or at least an encouraging economic future. 2017 Level: mittel A Modern Guide to Rethinking Economics Louis-Philippe Rochon, Sergio Rossi Edward Elgar Publishing The economic crisis is also a crisis for economic theory. Most analyses of the evolution of the crisis invoke three themes, contagion, networks and trust, yet none of these play a major role in standard macroeconomic models. What is needed is a theory in which these aspects are central. 2011 Level: mittel Complex Economics Alan Kirman Routledge Exploring Economics Dossier on the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic and the structural crisis of globalization. COVID-19 encounters a structural crisis of globalization and the economic system that drives it, with an uncertain outcome. We asked economists worldwide to share with us their analysis of current events, long-term perspectives and political responses. The dossier will be continuously expanded. 2020 Level: leicht The Next Great Recession? Exploring Economics Dossier   Exploring Economics The concept of financialisation has undergone a similar career as ‘globalisation’, ‘neoliberalism’ or even ‘capitalism’, in the course of which it changed from the explanandum to the explanans; the process of financialisation is taken for granted, while the concrete historical and empirical causal conditions of its realisation and perpetuation are being moved into the background. 2023 Level: schwer A holistic theory of financialisation Samuel Decker Exploring Economics This episode from Odd Lost podcast with financial analyst Zoltan Pozsar features a discussion on the potential long-term financial effects of the Ukraine-Crisis on dollar and the global currency system centered around it. 2022 Level: mittel Zoltan Pozsar on Russia, Gold, and a Turning Point for the U.S. Dollar Zoltan Pozsar, Tracy Alloway, Joe Weisenthal Bloomberg In this essay the author reviews empirical studies in economics that analyze factors behind the rise of nationalist and populist parties in Western countries. He stresses that economic factors (e.g., trade shocks and economic crisis) play a crucial role in the rise of populist parties; however, the discussion of mechanisms driving this trend remains unsatisfying 2019 Level: mittel The Economics of Populism in the Present Felix Kersting Exploring Economics The global financial crisis (GFC) led to increasing distrust in economic research and the economics profession, in the process of which the current state of economics and economic education in particular were heavily criticized. Against this background we conducted a study with undergraduate students of economics in order to capture their view of economic education. 2018 Level: leicht What economics education is missing: The real world Stephan Pühringer, Lukas Bäuerle Institute of Economics and Philosophy Cusanus Hochschule The 2007–08 credit crisis and the long recession that followed brutally exposed the economic and social costs of financialization. Understanding what lay behind these events, the rise of “fictitious capital” and its opaque logic, is crucial to grasping the social and political conditions under which we live. Yet, for most people, the operations of the financial system remain shrouded in mystery. 2017 Level: mittel Fictitious Capital Cedric Durand Verso Islamic finance's phenomenal growth owes to the Shariah compliant nature of its financial instruments. Shariah forbids the charging of interest (Riba) and instead promulgates risk-sharing and trade-based modes of financing. The Islamic financial industry has been subject to both critique and admiration. Critics argue that Islamic instruments (bearing debt-based structures) differ from their conventional counterparts only in legal lexicon and not in economic impact. 2018 Level: mittel Rethinking Islamic Finance Ayesha Bhatti, Saad Azmat Routledge The workshop introduces into the field of critical political economy and tries to identify the role of finacial markets in capitalism, the reason for financial crises and the relevance of Marx in regard to these topics. 2018 Level: leicht Marxian Political Economy Jannis Eicker and Anil Shah 2. Summer Academy for Pluralist Economics This blog post reviews "Democratizing Finance", an edited volume that analyses and provides policy proposals to ensure that the financial system serves the public good. Mquzama undertakes the task of summarising the main takeaways from each essay in the book as well as an exposition of its shortfalls. While he acknowledges the necessity of the book's reimaging capitalism and the financial system in a way that is practical within the current economic and political structures, he also highlights its failure to look beyond the United States of America. 2022 Level: leicht Book Review: Democratizing Finance Fred Block, Robert Hockett Verso Books Heterodox Macroeconomics offers a detailed understanding of the foundations of the recent global financial crisis 2009 Level: mittel Heterodox Macroeconomics Jonathan P.

In the graveyard of economic ideology, dead ideas still stalk the land.

The recent financial crisis laid bare many of the assumptions behind market liberalism—the theory that market-based solutions are always best, regardless of the problem. For decades, their advocates dominated mainstream economics, and their influence created a system where an unthinking faith in markets led many to view speculative investments as fundamentally safe. 2012 Level: leicht Zombie Economics John Quiggin Princeton University Press This article examines the spread of financialization in Germany before the financial crisis. It provides an up-to date overview on the literature on financialization and reviews which of the phenomena typically associated with financialization have emerged in Germany. In particular, the article aims to clarify how the prevailing institutional structure and its changes had contributed to or had countervailed the spread of financialization and how it had shaped the specific German variant of financialization. For this end, it combines the rich literature on Germany's institutional structure with the more macroeconomic oriented literature on financializaton. With the combination of those different perspectives the article sheds light on the reasons for the spread of financialization and the specific forms it has taken in Germany. 2019 Level: leicht Financialization made in Germany: A review Daniel Detzer Institute for International Political Economy Berlin
