In this talk, Eric Beinhocker outlines his ideas of how to ensure a just and sustainable future for Humanity: This includes his interesting Russian Doll approach to unpacking 20th-century economics and proposals of new theories to underpin a new economic system.

Eric Beinhocker takes us on an easy to follow discovery journey unmantling the foundations (e.g. moral philosophy and economic theory) of the present economic system (i.e. modern capitalism). By doing so, we realize the relativity and subjectivity of the established set of beliefs (e.g. Neoliberalism). Beinhocker gifts us an open mind to question the status quo.

Comment from our editors:

This is an excellent material for a platform like Exploring Economics, which aims to broaden horizons in regard to the status quo. The talk includes deft summaries of the current economic order and the need for New Economic Thinking and has the potential to inspire and motivate people. It is good e-learning material for both beginners and professionals as it can help to connect and categorize economic terminologies like Neoliberalism and modern capitalism.

Caliban and the Witch
Silvia Federici outlines the content of her book „Caliban and the Witch - Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation“. Departing from a critique of the Marxist blindspot on reproductive labour, Federici aims at researching the historical process by which the exploitation of women and the construction of the unproductive housewife has been established. Federici points to the transition from the feudal to the capitalist mode of production and explains how the gender specific prosecution (witch hunt) was linked to necessity of control over bodies and the sexuality in the great transformation. Federici also presents arguments why this research is highly relevant for the analysis of women's situation in current capitalism.

Economic theory, methodology, and secure foundations
Approaching the law of nature that determines all forms of economy. The bulk of economic theory addresses the economic process by setting out on a catalogue of aspects, seeking the laws in the aspects and hoping to get together a reliable view of the whole.

Sozialismus oder Liberalismus?
An vielen Stellen scheinen die Dinge nicht so zu laufen, wie sie laufen sollten: die ökonomische Ungleichheit ist groß, bloßes Wohnen wird immer teurer, öffentliche Güter wie Krankenhäuser oder Universitäten geraten unter einen ökonomischen Erfolgsdruck, der ihrer ursprünglichen Funktion nicht gut tut. Der renommierte Philosoph Axel Honneth erkennt ein allgemeines …

L'économie post-keynésienne
Cet interview donne la parole à Jean-François Ponsot, l'un des coordinateurs de l'ouvrage "L'économie post-keynésienne. Histoire, théories et politiques" (Seuil, 2018), première synthèse en français sur le post-keynésianisme. Jean-François Ponsot revient d'abord sur les apports des post-keynésiens, notamment sur leur conception du chômage et de la relance économique. Il analyse ensuite la difficulté pour les théories hétérodoxes à s'installer dans le paysage théorique malgré la crise financière de 2007. Enfin, il explique en quoi les fondements du post-keynésianisme sont plus progressistes que populistes.
