Prof. Robert Guttmann analyses the current transformation of the international world order by looking at the evolutions of the international monetary system. Referring to a "long waves" approach, and building on the French Regulation Theory, he shows how globalization has actually been shaped in the last decades by the long-term transformation of fordism into finance-led capitalism. Today, finance-led capitalism (characterized by the hegemony of the United States and the international domination of the US dollar) approaches its final crisis, and globalization itself, as several indicators show, is retrenching. Three global capitalist blocks are emerging in the middle of this crisis, competing and cooperating with one another, under the common planetary threat of climate change.

Comment from our editors:

Very enlightening talk aggregating several perspectives and economic dimensions with one another. Grounds the current commercial war in a broader historical and macroeconomic context.

Japanification, Quantitative Easing, money creation and Re-Igniting the U.S. Economy
Richard Werner touches on a number of topics in this Odd Lots Podcast episode. As one of the pioneers when it comes to money and credit creation, he gives interesting insights into his early research on this topic. He then explains what he calls the “Quantity Theory of Credit” and is an alternative to the "Quantity Theory of Money".

The Economics of a World Cup in Qatar
The 2022 FIFA World Cup (including the construction work required for it) provides a clear example of economic activity that has taken place despite the financial costs to the Qatari state being an order of magnitude larger than the financial benefits it will receive. Whilst this is a fairly extreme case in terms of how many different costs and benefits are involved and how unequally they have been spread, many economic decisions are more complicated than mere financial calculations and it is therefore vital for students to be able to think about multiple dimensions involved in economic decisions.

Thomas Boraud, neurobiologiste, directeur de recherche au CNRS et à l’Institut des maladies neurodégénératives, CNRS-Université de Bordeaux nous expose l'antinomie entre l’Homme comme un animal doué de raisonnement rationnel et sa psychologie au quotidien. Il introduit sa présentation par des arguments provenant de la biologie et de la théorie de l'évolution pour expliquer en quel sens le concept d'homo œconomicus est dépassé et doit être revu au jour d'aujourd'hui. Il expose les fondements du processus de prise de décision (biais cognitif, capacité cognitive limitée...) pour décrire la part d’aléatoire qui est présente dans ces processus. On y apprend que notre appréhension du réel est largement modelée par nos comportements, eux-mêmes contraints par les circonstances de notre environnement.

Triggering a Global Financial Crisis: Covid-19 as the Last Straw
Whether a black swan or a scapegoat, Covid-19 is an extraordinary event. Declared by the WHO as a pandemic, Covid-19 has given birth to the concept of the economic “sudden stop.” We need extraordinary measures to contain it.
