Krisentheorie aus post-keynesianischer und österreichischer Sicht
Was ist unter Krise und was unter multipler Krise zu verstehen? Ulrich Brand erläutert, wie unterschiedliche Krisen – wie die Finanz- & Wirtschaftskrise, die Krise der Ökologie oder der Reproduktion - zusammenhängen und diskutiert Ursachen dieser mutliplen Krise mit dem vom ihm geprägtem Begriff der imperialen Produktions- und Lebensweise. Anschließend erwägt Brand, wie Wege aus der Krise aussehen könnten und greift dabei Konzepte wie degrowth und sozial-ökologische Transformation auf.

How The Economic Machine Works
In this keynote lecture during the conference „The Spectre of Stagnation? Europe in the World Economy“, Till van Treek presents research on how changes in income distribution lead to macroeconomic instability and crisis, focusing on currents accounts. Treek presents the relative income hypothesis in contrast to other mainstream and Post-Keynesian explanations. The relative income hypothesis proposes that aggregate demand increases and savings decrease with rising personal income inequality due to upward looking status comparison – but effects depend on the quantile where income inequality increases. Treek points to the importance of accounting for both income and functional income distribution and underlines his arguments with data comparing different pattern in Germany and the U.S.

The Financialisation of Capitalism
Paul Mason presents the main arguments of his book PostCapitalism. First, he argues that capitalism runs out of its capability to adapt to crises and second states that information technology challenges the capitalist system. In a nutshell, he argues that a society which fully exploits information technologies can't include concepts such as intellectual property, free market or private ownership. This has far-reaching consequences for the organisation of wages and work. The talk stops at minute 37.30.

Finanzkapitalismus in der Krise?
Departing from an analysis of women's employment and changing gender regimes in the pre crisis period, Jill Rubery illustrates how the crisis affects men's and women's employment differently. Afterwards, she discusses the crisis' impact on gender relations. Based on empirical findings, she shows how men were more affected by the recession and women more by austerity and presents possible explanations. Those are furthermore linked to women's employment decisions and prevalent gender regimes. In particular, Rubery discusses cut backs in public spendings on care, flexibilization and the role of conservative gender ideologies.

Rosa macht vier Krisen aus, in der Ökonomie, der Politik, der Ökologie und der menschlichen Psyche, diese Krisen beschreibt er als miteinander verwoben. Zur Analyse von Beschleunigung und Entfremdung präsentiert Rosa Ansätze aus der Kritischen Theorie.

Economics: An Illustrated Timeline
This essay draws on several analyses on the gender impact of the recession and of austerity policies, in which authors acknowledge a threat to women’s labour market integration and a potential backlash to traditional gender labour structures. We contribute to that literature by asking whether recession and austerity convey a gender effect on educational attainment. Our aim in this essay is to portray the likely effects of austerity measures on gender equality with a focus on women’s participation in tertiary education and to hypothesize the implications of these scenarios for labour market effects, to be tested in future empirical research.

The impact of Austerity on Gender in Tertiary Education: A Theoretical Analysis
Gilles Carbonnier, Professor of Development Economics and Director of Studies at The Graduate Institute Geneva, explains the emerging field of Humanitarian Economics.

How long the COVID-19 crisis will last, and what its immediate economic costs will be, is anyone's guess. But even if the pandemic's economic impact is contained, it may have already set the stage for a debt meltdown long in the making, starting in many of the Asian emerging and developing economies on the front lines of the outbreak.
