An essay of the writing workshop on Nigeria’s Readiness for and the Effect of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Though apparently siblings from the same family, New Keynesianism and Post-Keynesianism are completely different schools of economic thought. As to why and in what regard exactly, that is what this book is all about. While the former is the official label of the current mainstream in economic research and teaching (rather than neoclassic economics, which would be more apt a term), the latter tries to preserve the original thinking of John Maynard Keynes, but also additional ideas and concepts of all those building on his work.

In der Diskussion um ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen (bGE) erscheint es als Idee „ohne Ideologie“, das über unterschiedliche politische Lager hinweg befürwortet wird. Das täuscht. Wenn wir nicht anfangen, unter der Vielzahl an Vorschlägen zu unterscheiden und nur über die abstrakte „Idee“ diskutieren, spielen wir neoliberalem Denken in die Hände, das Grundeinkommen für die Erhaltung sozialer Ungerechtigkeit instrumentalisiert. Die jüngste Debatte um ein „solidarisches Grundeinkommen“ zeigt: Der positiv belegte Begriff ist längst gekapert – wo „Grundeinkommen“ drauf steht, kann inzwischen alles mögliche drin sein.
Here we look at the effect of the 2008 Climate Change Act passed in Parliament in the United Kingdom as an effort to curb emissions in all sectors. The Act aside from setting goals to become a low-carbon economy sets up an independent committee on Climate Change to ensure the implementation of policies to comply with the ultimate goal of 80% reduction in total emissions in 2050. I make use of the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) to create a comparative case study in which the creation of a synthetic UK serves as a counterfactual where the treatment never occurred (Cunningham, 2018).

Die Klimapolitik der Bundesregierung reicht bisher nicht aus, um die katastrophalen Folgen der Klimakrise abzuwenden. Mit Blick auf die Bundestagswahl im September formulieren viele deutsche Parteien nun ehrgeizigere Ziele. Doch die Zeit drängt.
The premise of this workshop is that we, as knowledge producers - especially within westernized universities (Grosfoguel, 2013), are significantly implicated in neoliberal imaginaries that are often in service of hierarchical, binary, competitive and linear narratives of growth as civilizational progress.
Traditionally, economists have attributed consistency and rational calculation to the action of ‘economic man’. In a powerful challenge to orthodox thinking, Geoffrey Hodgson maintains that social institutions play a central and essential role in molding preferences and guiding action: institutions are regarded as enabling action rather than merely providing constraints.
Those who control the world’s commanding economic heights, buttressed by the theories of mainstream economists, presume that capitalism is a self-contained and self-generating system.
