It mostly describes the delinking notion of development through westernised lens specially in the global south. it specially introduces the world system approach rather than nation state approach of managing public resources.

Objektfixierung – Wie die VWL ihre Dynamik verlor
Die Volkswirtschaftslehre begnügt sich damit, eine Lehre der Mechanik des aktuellen Wirtschaftssystems zu sein, eine Art Kapitalistik. Es war fahrlässig, bei dieser geschichts- und zukunftslosen Wirtschaftswissenschaft stehenzubleiben. Eine Reise in die Vergangenheit der Disziplin zeigt, dass eine bessere Ökonomik denkbar ist, argumentiert Frank Fehlberg.
