In the first class meeting, we discuss the structure and goals of the course, as well as the expectations and requirements from the students. In addition, we will discuss the concept of heterodoxy in economics, along with discussing the concepts and key issues in mainstream and neoclassical economics. 2020 Level: mittel Heterodox Economics Alyssia Schneebaum Exploring Economics Pluralism includes mainstream economics. Our campaign for pluralism, including this series, have generally focused on ideas outside the mainstream on the basis that it gets plenty of attention already so we want to spend our time exposing people to alternatives. Nevertheless, mainstream ideas deserve some attention. On top of this, a curious feature of modern economics education is that some of the best ideas from mainstream economics are not even taught to undergraduates! During this series I will explore such ideas, starting today with the market construction technique known as ‘matching’. 2020 Level: leicht It's a match! Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics 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 course is intended to present some of the main ideas underlying the micro aspects of gender economics. The courses will tackle issues as fertility, marriage, women labor force participation, wage gap, gender inequality, violence against women and women empowerment within her household and within the society where she lives. Level: mittel Gender and Microeconomics Hanan Nazier and Racha Ramadan Cairo University - Faculty of Economics and Political Science Is capitalism the context where gender inequalities are reproduced, or is capitalism something more than a context? What are the differences among women and how can we place them theoretically and politically. Reproductive work, is it a women’s work? These questions are disscused in a three-session workshop. 2022 Level: leicht Feminist Economics Natalia Flores Garrido Summer Academy 2022 for Pluralist Economics Once in a while the world astonishes itself. Anxious incredulity replaces intellectual torpor and a puzzled public strains its antennae in every possible direction, desperately seeking explanations for the causes and nature of what just hit it. 2008 was such a moment. Not only did the financial system collapse, and send the real economy into a tailspin, but it also revealed the great gulf separating economics from a very real capitalism. 2011 Level: mittel Modern Political Economics Yanis Varoufakis, Joseph Halevi, Nicholas Theocarakis Routledge Macroeconomics is fundamental to our understanding of how the world functions today. But too often our understanding is based on orthodox, dogmatic analysis. 2016 Level: leicht Macroeconomics - A Critical Companion Ben Fine Pluto Press Modern Monetary Theory and the Birth of the People s Economy The leading thinker and most visible public advocate of modern monetary theory the freshest and most important idea about economics in decades delivers a radically different bold new understanding for how to build a just and prosperous society Stephanie … 2020 Level: leicht The Deficit Myth Stephanie Kelton Hachette UK This brief responds to the criticism that mainstream economics is currently facing due to its heavy reliance on models and narrow range of quantitative research techniques. It takes a broader view, identifying issues that are also relevant for heterodox and pluralist approaches to economics. 2014 Level: mittel Rethinking Economics Stuart Birks Springer Economics has become a monolithic science, variously described as formalistic and autistic with neoclassical orthodoxy reigning supreme. So argue Dimitris Milonakis and Ben Fine in this new major work of critical recollection. 2009 Level: mittel From Political Economy to Economics Dimitris Milonakis, Ben Fine Routledge This unique up-to-date volume not only provides state-of-the-art discussions of the most recent developments in modern macroeconomics but also includes a series of interviews with leading economists that shed new light on the major intellectual and policy issues of the 1990s. The book is at once an invaluable text and a superb overview that will be welcomed by teachers and students alike. 1994 Level: leicht A Modern Guide to Macroeconomics Snowdon, Brian; Vane, Howard R.; Wynarczyk, Peter Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd 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. 2009 Level: leicht Introduction to Post-Keynesian Economics Marc Lavoie Palgrave Macmillan UK Unser Ziel ist es, drei Lehrbücher auf den in ihnen verwendeten Ordnungsbegriff zu untersuchen. 2016 Level: leicht Das Ordnungsverständnis in wirtschaftspolitischen und theoriegeschichtlichen Lehrbüchern Roland Fritz, Nils Goldschmidt Wirtschaft neu denken: Blinde Flecken in der Lehrbuchökonomie In this essay the authors take a look at how welfare could be provided in a degrowth society. 2019 Level: leicht Bidding farewell to growth: How to provide welfare in a degrowth society Johanna Hopp and Laura Theuer Exploring Economics An essay of the writing workshop on contemporary issues in the field of Nigerian economics: Labour and all the dynamics, such as laws, mobility, gender participation, regulation etc., that are associated with it cements the need for this paper which seeks to objectively review, analyse, and if deemed necessary, give plausible recommendations. Level: leicht Labour market: Applicable Labour Market Models and Gender Issues Asadu C. Emmanuel Exploring Economics Neue Ansätze zur Lösung der Klimakrise sind von den dominanten Strömungen der VWL nicht zu erwarten. Stattdessen verbleiben diese in einer Modellwelt, in der katastrophale Klimafolgen zu berechenbaren Risiken werden und politische Realitäten und Machtinteressen ausgeblendet bleiben. In der Folge werden konkrete Fragen, etwa nach der Umgestaltung des Verkehrssystems und einem ökologischen und global gerechten Ernährungssystem, gar nicht erst gestellt. Die implizite Antwort bleibt: Der Markt wird es richten. 2020 Level: leicht Die Klimakrise als Krise der Wirtschaftswissenschaften Katharina Keil und Max Wilken Economists for Future Um die Klimakrise und ihre Ursachen wirklich zu bekämpfen, müssen die derzeitige Wirtschaftsweise grundlegender hinterfragt und Möglichkeiten einer sozial-ökologischen Transformation untersucht werden. Ein Beitrag von Elena Hofferberth. 2019 Level: leicht Die Postwachstumsökonomik und die Klimakrise Elena Hofferberth Economists for Future Mit dem seit Ende März allseits konstatierten Beginn einer Wirtschaftskrise stellen sich vorrangig zwei Fragen: Inwieweit ist die Corona-Pandemie der Ausgangspunkt (oder gar die Ursache) dieser Krise? Und zweitens: Kann mit den beschlossenen Hilfsprogrammen eine tiefgreifende, langanhaltende Rezession verhindert werden? 2020 Level: leicht Wirtschaftskrise nur wegen Corona-Pandemie? Jakob Schäfer Exploring Economics The Great Recession 2.0 is unfolding before our very eyes. It is still in its early phase. But dynamics have been set in motion that are not easily stopped, or even slowed. If the virus effect were resolved by early summer—as some politicians wishfully believe—the economic dynamics set in motion would still continue. The US and global economies have been seriously ‘wounded’ and will not recover easily or soon. Those who believe it will be a ‘V-shape’ recovery are deluding themselves. Economists among them should know better but are among the most confused. They only need to look at historical parallels to convince themselves otherwise. 2020 Level: leicht Origins & Emergence of the 2020 Great Recession in the US Economy Dr. Jack Rasmus Exploring Economics Exploring Economics, an open-source e-learning platform, giving you the opportunity to discover & study a variety of economic theories, topics, and methods. 2020 Level: leicht A Time for Precaution Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics One method of economic modelling that has become increasingly popular in academia, government and the private sector is Agent Based Models, or ABM. These simulate the actions and interactions of thousands or even millions of people to try to understand the economy – for this reason ABM was once described to me as being “like Sim City without the graphics”. One advantage of ABM is that it is flexible, since you can choose how many agents there are (an agent just means some kind of 'economic decision maker' like a firm, consumer, worker or government); how they behave (do they use complicated or simple rules to make decisions?); as well as the environment they act in, then just run the simulation and see what happens as they interact over time. 2020 Level: leicht Agents, agents everywhere Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics An essay of the writing workshop on Nigeria’s Readiness for and the Effect of the Fourth Industrial Revolution 2020 Level: mittel The Fourth Industrial Revolution: Economic Impact and Possible Disruptions Emmanuel Obijole Exploring Economics Wirtschaftswachstum in den Ländern des Globalen Nordens zu kritisieren ist eine Sache, aber was bedeutet Wachstumskritik für die Länder des Globalen Südens? Inwiefern ist die Frage nach Wachstum und Postwachstum für den Globalen Süden und die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit relevant? Mit drei Redner*innen aus dem Globalen Süden wurden diese Fragen im Seminar „Entwicklungszusammenarbeit in einer Postwachstums-Ära“ diskutiert. 2021 Level: leicht Wachstumskritik in der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit Ulla Puckhaber, Tanja Brumbauer Next Economy Lab On July 2020 ZOE-Institute published a unique platform for transformative policymaking: Sustainable Prosperity. Building on insights from new economic thinking the platform provides knowledge about ideas, arguments and procedures that support effective promotion of political change. It aims to strengthen change makers in public policy institutions, who are working on an ambitious green and just transition. As such, it provides convincing arguments and policy ideas to overcome the reliance of economic policy on GDP growth Level: leicht Sustainable Prosperity   ZOE In der Auseinandersetzung um eine nachhaltige und lebenswerte Zukunft ist die Arbeitskritik eine unerlässliche Perspektive. Denn Arbeit basiert immer auf Ressourcen- und Energieverbrauch und hat somit immer direkte oder indirekte Umweltauswirkungen. 2020 Level: leicht Wie Arbeitskritik die Klimadebatte bereichern kann Maja Hoffmann Economist for Future An vielen Orten auf der Welt erleben wir, wie sich das Gefühl von Machtlosigkeit und sozialer Entfremdung breit macht – wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Wohlstand sind nicht mehr miteinander im Einklang, sie sind entkoppelt. Daher braucht es ein neues Verständnis von Wohlstand. 2020 Level: leicht Wie sich echter Wohlstand messen lässt Dennis J. Snower Economist for Future Um den sozial-ökologischen Herausforderungen zu begegnen, ist die konsequente Wiedereinbettung ökonomischer Strukturen in soziale Kontexte notwendig.

Patricia Urban Economists for Future The term "de-risking" can be seen as one element of a strategy aimed at discursively reframing the trade policy confrontation with China. This confrontation has mainly been driven by the US in recent years and received initially cautious, but later growing support from the EU. 2023 Level: leicht De-risking, de-coupling, de-globalization?
