Finance. Climate. Food. Work. How are the crises of the twenty-first century connected?In "Capitalism in the Web of Life", Jason W. Moore argues that the sources of today's global turbulence have a common cause: capitalism as a way of organizing nature, including human nature.
Wir sind in einem Zeitalter angekommen, in dem der Mensch verschwinden könnte - und mit ihm die Welt, die er so gnadenlos ausbeutet. Denn was ist heute für uns nicht billig und schnell zu haben - auf Kosten der vielen Menschen, die weniger privilegiert sind als wir?
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.

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.
Smith contends that there is no possible solution to our global ecological crisis within the framework of any conceivable capitalism. The only alternative to market-driven planetary collapse is to transition to a largely planned, mostly publicly-owned economy based on production for need, on democratic governance and rough socio-economic equality, and on contraction and convergence between the global North and South.

Die Krise hält uns in Atem und erzeugt zugleich ein diffuses Gefühl der Ratlosigkeit. Auf schier unüberschaubare Problemlagen folgen Maßnahmen, die wie Notoperationen am offenen Herzen der westlichen Welt wirken - durchgeführt ohne Kenntnis der Krankengeschichte. So ernst die Lage ist, so wenig scheinen wir zu verstehen, was genau vor sich geht.
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.
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.

Der freie Markt existiert nicht, „Chancengleichheit“ heißt nicht „gleiche Chancen für alle“, die Erfindung der Waschmaschine hat die Welt tiefgreifender verändert als das Internet.
Am 5. Mai 1818 wurde Karl Marx geboren. Der 5. Mai 2018 ist als 200. Geburtstag also ein Datum, zu dem es den nach wie vor populärsten Kritiker dessen, was wir als Kapitalismus bezeichnen, und einen ebenso großen wie umstrittenen Denker, Publizisten und auch Politiker zu würdigen gilt.

Viele glauben: Die Wirtschaft funktioniert nach den Gesetzen der Logik. Doch das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Die Wirtschaft wird erschüttert von immer neuen Krisen, ihre Akteure – Notenbanker, Manager, Politiker – sind oft getrieben von Wahnvorstellungen und Persönlichkeitsstörungen.
The recent financial meltdown and the resulting global recession have rekindled debates regarding the nature of contemporary capitalism.

In China's Gilded Age, Yuen Yuen Ang maintains that all corruption is harmful, but not all types of corruption hurt growth. Ang unbundles corruption into four varieties: petty theft, grand theft, speed money, and access money.
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.

Dabei zeigt Rendueles sich als begeisterter Reiseführer, der das Nähkästchen parat hat.
The rise of capitalism to global dominance is still largely associated – by both laypeople and Marxist historians – with the industrial capitalism that made its decisive breakthrough in 18th century Britain.
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.
