Finanzkapitalismus in der Krise?
Im Vortrag „Finanzkapitalismus in der Krise? Das Verhältnis von Finanzialisierung und Euro", präsentiert Christoph Scherrer eine übersichtliche Genese der Finanzialisierung, mit besonderem Augenmerk auf der Rolle des Einheitlichen Währungsraumes. Der Vortrag ermöglicht dabei ein Verständnis zentraler Begriffe wie Finanzialisierung oder Finanzkapitalismus sowie der Rolle von beispielsweise Deregulierungen. Zudem stellt Scherrer die Frage, ob Finanzialisierung begrenzt werden kann und präsentiert Hürden möglicher Reformen, unter anderem Hegenomie und Globalisierung.

Sustainable Finance
Aim of this intensive workshop is to understand macroeconomic workings of climate change as as the background of sustainable finance; to analyse financial assets with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria attached to them and their markets and important institutional players; to develop a critical perspective on the current setup of sustainable finance; and to synthesise this knowledge by applying it on in-depth case studies.
