Rethinking Economics The Uploaders (RETU) invites you to a webinar with influential academics from Nigeria to lecture on three traditional economic solutions to poverty: the Igbo Apprenticeship System, the Yoruba Ajo Thrift Savings, and the Hausa Communalism.

The Economics of Care

The Economics of Care
In the inspiring interview on Economics of Care, Nancy Foblre takes a closer look to the consequences of the marketization of caring activities on those activities and on the societal organization of care. Folbre elaborates on how to value care and how this shifts the perspectives on living standards. She points to the fact, that caring activities are undervalued both in the market sphere and within the family and thereby questions the division between those spheres. Lastly, Folbre answers the question how to reteach Economics when accounting for caring activities.

Shadow banking and financial market regulation
Shadow banking became one of the main features of modern market based financial capitalism and financial globalisation. Daniel Gabor locates this development in a Super-Cycle framework and sketches out opportunities to launch a new cycle that is green and just through financial regulation and publicly organised sustainable finance.

Use-Value, Exchange Value, and the Demise of Marx's Value Theory of Labor

Use-Value, Exchange Value, and the Demise of Marx's Value Theory of Labor
Karl Marx was the greatest champion of the labor theory of value. The logical problems of this theory have, however, split scholars of Marx into two factions: those who regard it as an indivisible component of Marxism, and those who wish to continue the spirit of analysis begun by Marx without the labor theory of value.

Sommes-nous rémunérés selon la productivité marginale ?

Sommes-nous rémunérés selon la productivité marginale ?
La répartition du revenu est un sujet sensible, à cheval sur l’économie et la question sociale. Il existe une théorie à prétention scientifique qui en explique les bases: la rémunération selon la productivité marginale. Elle ne semble pas neutre socialement. Analysons en la validité sous l'angle théorique et l'angle empirique.
