Mainstream inflation theories in economics do little to explain the recent acceleration in price increases. The associated economic policy recommendations further increase the misery of low-income groups.

eine Soziologie der Weltbeziehung Wenn Beschleunigung das Problem ist dann ist Resonanz vielleicht die Lösung Dies ist auf die kürzestmögliche Formel gebracht die Kernthese des neuen Buches von Hartmut Rosa das als Gründungsdokument einer Soziologie des guten Lebens gelesen werden kann An seinem Anfang steht die Behauptung dass sich die …
Orthodox economics operates within a hypothesized world of perfect competition in which perfect consumers and firms act to bring about supposedly optimal outcomes. The discrepancies between this model and the reality it claims to address are then attributed to particular imperfections in reality itself.
This book tells the story of the search for disequilibrium micro-foundations for macroeconomic theory, from the disequilibrium theories of Patinkin, Clower and Leijonhufvud to recent dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models with imperfect competition.
Will man umsichtige Daseinsvorsorge betreiben und die Bereitstellung von lebensnotwendigen Gütern und Dienstleistungen erreichen, ist ökonomische Effizienz schlichtweg der falsche Weg. Dabei begegnet uns dieser Widerspruch von Vorsorge und Effizienz im Gesundheitssektor nicht nur in der jüngsten Versorgungskrise mit Medikamenten, sondern dieser Gegensatz zeigte sich nicht zuletzt auch während der Pandemie auf dramatische Weise. Ein Beitrag von Manuel Schulz.
Eigentlich klingt die Idee ganz simpel: Jeden Monat soll der Staat seinen Bürger*innen einen fixen Betrag aufs Konto überweisen. Einfach so. Ohne Gegenleistung, ohne Wenn und Aber. Doch so einfach ist es nicht. Wenn es um das Grundeinkommen geht, reden viele aneinander vorbei. Was geht schief in der Debatte ums Grundeinkommen? Ein Essay von Sebastian Fobbe.
This lively introduction to heterodox economics provides a balanced critique of the standard introductory macroeconomic curriculum. In clear and accessible prose, it explains many of the key principles that underlie a variety of alternative theoretical perspectives (including institutionalist economics, radical economics, Post Keynesian economics, feminist economics, ecological economics, Marxist economics, social economics, and socioeconomics).
In den Jahren seit 2007 stand die Welt vor einer Kernschmelze des Finanzsystems, die nur durch massive Rettungsaktionen der Politik zu Lasten des Steuerzahlers verhindert wurde.
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.
Die alten kapitalistischen Zentren, aber auch die großen Schwellenländer befinden sich inmitten eines epochalen Umbruchs. Politikansätze, die das Problem der Klimaungerechtigkeit ignorieren, werden heftige Widerstände gegen die sozial-ökologische Transformation auslösen. Ein Beitrag von Klaus Dörre.
Unternehmen wird eine besondere Veränderungsbereitschaft zugeschrieben, und die Hoffnung ist, dass sie zu einem neuen Bild der Wirtschaft beitragen. Darin fehlen jedoch wesentliche andere Institutionen, die den Unternehmen Grenzen setzen. Ein Beitrag von Sabrina Schmidt und Carla Young.
This book retraces the history of macroeconomics from Keynes's General Theory to the present. Central to it is the contrast between a Keynesian era and a Lucasian - or dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) - era, each ruled by distinct methodological standards.
Microeconomics: A Critical Companion offers students a clear and concise exposition of mainstream microeconomics from a heterodox perspective.
Wirtschaften, um sich selbst zu erhalten? Was eigentlich selbstverständlich ist, bleibt in der ökonomischen Theorie und in den sozialpolitischen Debatten oft nur eine Randnotiz.

Strategien wie Planetary Health und One Health haben ein großes Potenzial, zur Bewältigung der Gesundheitskrise beizutragen. Allerdings gilt es, dies auch zu nutzen – und hier besteht nach wie vor großer Handlungsbedarf. Ein Beitrag von Karen Pittel.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Bombay was beset by crises such as famine and plague. Yet, rather than halting the flow of capital, these crises served to secure it. In colonial Bombay, capitalists and governors, Indian and British alike, used moments of crisis to justify interventions that delimited the city as a distinct object and progressively excluded laborers and migrants from it.
This book is intended as a textbook for a course in behavioural economics for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who have already learned basic economics. The book will also be useful for introducing behavioural economics to researchers. Unlike some general audience books that discuss behavioural economics, this book does not take the position of negating traditional economics completely.
Lange wurde die Infrastrukturentwicklung mit Wirtschafts- und Wohlstandswachstum gleichgesetzt. Unter ökologischen Gesichtspunkten ist dieser Zusammenhang jedoch nicht mehr eindeutig. Ein Beitrag von Astrid Krisch.
Die post-Keynesianische Ökonomik beschreibt die grundlegenden Funktionsweisen des Kapitalismus mit besonderem Fokus auf Wachstum und Verteilung. Aber ist sie auch in der Lage, ökologische Krisen zu erfassen und geeignete Lösungsansätze zu entwickeln?
hether it's working for free in exchange for 'experience', enduring poor treatment in the name of being 'part of the family', or clocking serious overtime for a good cause, more and more of us are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do work we enjoy. Work Won't Love You Back examines how we all bought into this 'labour of love' myth: the idea that certain work is not really work, and should be done for the sake of passion rather than pay.
Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century is the most widely discussed work of economics in recent history, selling millions of copies in dozens of languages. But are its analyses of inequality and economic growth on target? Where should researchers go from here in exploring the ideas Piketty pushed to the forefront of global conversation? A cast of economists and other social scientists tackle these questions in dialogue with Piketty, in what is sure to be a much-debated book in its own right.
How did Britain's economy become a bastion of inequality? In this landmark book, the author of The New Enclosure provides a forensic examination and sweeping critique of early-twenty-first-century capitalism. Brett Christophers styles this as 'rentier capitalism', in which ownership of key types of scarce assets--such as land, intellectual property, natural resources, or digital platforms--is all-important and dominated by a few unfathomably wealthy companies and individuals: rentiers.
With a focus on Chile, Pinochet’s Economic Accomplices: An Unequal Country byForce uses theoretical arguments and empirical studies to argue that focusing onthe behavior of economic actors of the dictatorship is crucial to achieve basic objectivesin terms of justice, memory, reparation, and non-repetition measures.
Well-rounded insights with essay contributions from various perspectives into what it means to decolonize higher education.
As the world's energy system faces a period of unprecedented change, a global struggle over who controls the sector--and for what purposes--is intensifying. The question of "green capitalism" is now unavoidable, for capitalist planners and anti-capitalist struggles alike.
In this volume, Katz offers a detailed summary of the foundations, evolutions and approaches of Dependency Theory in Latin America, focusing on the regional interpretations of Marxism, Developmentalism and World-Systems Theory.
Identity politics is everywhere, polarising discourse from the campaign trail to the classroom and amplifying antagonisms in the media. But the compulsively referenced phrase bears little resemblance to the concept as first introduced by the radical Black feminist Combahee River Collective.
Leigh Phillips and Michal Rozworski examine the apparent contradiction between the demise of real-existing socialism and the rise of large corporations engaging in planning every day, making a strong argument that these planning efforts should be transformed to now fulfil the needs of the people.
