Tony Lawson has become a major figure of intellectual controversy on the back of juxtaposing two relatively simple and seemingly innocuous ideas. He has argued firstly that success in science depends on finding and using methods, including modes of reasoning, appropriate to the nature of the phenomena being studied, and also that there are important differences between the nature of the objects of study of natural sciences and those of social science.
Ontology and Economics In this refreshingly revisionist history, Erik Reinert shows how rich countries developed through a combination of government intervention, protectionism, and strategic investment, rather than through free trade. How Rich Countries Got Rich ... and Why Poor Countries Stay Poor IS-LM is perhaps the prime example of `cognitive dissonance' in economics, and is problematic to many economists. On the one hand, the IS-LM model is still taught by many academic economists or they use it to derive the AD-AS approach. On the other hand, the same economists realize the limitations of the basic IS-LM model and would not now use it for policy analysis, as they did in the past. The distinction between pedagogical and analytical efficacy is made by all the authors in this volume regarding the IS-LM model. IS-LM and Modern Macroeconomics In economics the dominant framework for exploring the structure of market economies is provided by the neoclassical school of thought. This text aims to show how neoclassical theory is used to model market mechanisms, both in particular markets and in the market economy as a whole. Microeconomics - Neoclassical and Institutionalist Perspectives on Economic Behaviour This is an important contribution that defends the importance of heterodox economics. It discusses what constitutes heterodox economics as an intellectual, social, and political project, with a range of contributions from leading heterodox thinkers coming from a diversity of theoretical vantage points. Heterodox Economics Die übergeordnete Forschungsfrage des Projektsseminars lautet: „Können Low-Profit-Investitionen einen zusätzlichen Beitrag zur Umsetzung der SDG leisten?“ Low Profit Investitionen - bewerten, finanzieren, fördern Beyond Neoclassical Economics is a remarkable new introduction to the main heterodox schools of economic thought which examines their main concepts and their critiques of mainstream theory. Beyond Neoclassical Economics Die Autorinnen kritisieren ein Wirtschaftssystem, das den »unbezahlten Sektor« der Care-Arbeit ignoriert, und eine Ökonomie, die sich noch immer um die Frage dreht, was zahlungskräftige Leute sich leisten können, statt das Sich-Kümmern um Hausarbeit, Kindererziehung, Pflege, Freundschaften, um soziales und globales Miteinander in den Vordergrund zu rücken. Um-Care Der "What the Wirtschaft"-Podcast bietet eine Einführung zu Climateflation, also dem Zusammenhang von Klimawandel und steigenden Preisen. Trocken bis teuer - Was Climateflation mit deutschem Wein zu tun hat This book investigates the continuing resonances of Atlantic slavery in the cultures and politics of human reproduction that characterize contemporary biocapitalism. The Afterlife of Reproductive Slavery Angesichts der Ereignisstürme im gegenwärtigen Finanzgeschäft widmet sich Joseph Vogl den Wahrnehmungsweisen, Theorien und Problemlagen dessen, was man mit gutem Grund immer noch Kapitalismus nennen muss. Gerade Finanzmärkte gelten als das Marktgeschehen schlechthin: Unbelastet von den Beschwernissen der Produktion sind sie – für die herrschende ökonomische Doktrin – Schauplätze eines perfekten Wettbewerbs und idealer wirtschaftlicher Ausgleichprozesse: ein segensreiches Zusammenspiel von gewinnorientierten und also ebenso rationalen wie zuverlässigen Akteuren. Das Gespenst des Kapitals Austerity has been at the center of political controversy following the 2008 financial crisis, invoked by politicians and academics across the political spectrum as the answer to, or cause of, our post-crash economic malaise. Austerity The economics of worker cooperatives is a branch of economic inquiry with a long and esteemed pedigree, dating at least from the work of John Stuart Mill in the mid-nineteenth century. The Economics of Worker Cooperatives Colonialism persists in many African countries due to the continuation of imperial monetary policy. This is the little-known account of the CFA Franc and economic imperialism. Africa's Last Colonial Currency A Heterodox Approach to Economic Analysis This important new book introduces students to the fundamental ideas of heterodox economics presented in a clear and accessible way by top heterodox scholars It offers not only a critique of the dominant approach to economics but also a positive and constructive alternative Students … An Introduction to Macroeconomics In this ambitious and impressive new book, journalist Howard French seeks to excavate the long elided central importance of the African continent as the “linchpin of the machine of modernity.” In the story of modernity, he writes, the role of Africa is diminished, trivialized, and erased, and by filling in some gaps in this story, he retells the story of modernity. Born in Blackness Das Lehrmaterial der Landeszentrale für politische Bildung Baden-Württemberg lotet die Möglichkeiten, aber auch Grenzen neoklassischer Wirtschaftsmodelle aus und fragt, inwiefern soziale Gerechtigkeit die ökonomische Effizienz befördern kann. Der Beutelsbacher Konsens im Wirtschaftsunterricht - durchgehend plural? Debunking Economics - Revised and Expanded Edition exposes what many non-economists may have suspected and a minority of economists have long known: that economic theory is not only unpalatable, but also plain wrong. When the original Debunking Economics was published back in 2001, the market economy seemed invincible, and conventional "neoclassical" economic theory basked in the limelight. Debunking Economics - Revised and Expanded Edition The book deals with the financial instability hypothesis of Hyman P. Minsky and its application to current developments. The first part of the work summarizes the hypothesis and mentions works elaborating the hypothesis. The second part applies the hypothesis to the financial crisis 0f 2008/09. The Financial Instability Hypothesis of Hyman P. Minsky Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Why Nations Fail In Colonial Debts Rocío Zambrana develops the concept of neoliberal coloniality in light of Puerto Rico's debt crisis. Drawing on decolonial thought and praxis, Zambrana shows how debt functions as an apparatus of predation that transforms how neoliberalism operates. Colonial Debts
