Auf dem Weg zu nachhaltigen Staatsfinanzen
Laut Bundesfinanzministerium dient die Schuldenbremse der Sicherung der langfristigen Tragfähigkeit der Haushalte von Bund und Ländern, sowie der Sicherung der finanziellen Handlungsspielräume zur Erfüllung der staatlichen Aufgaben. So ist es im Grundgesetz in Artikel 109 festgeschrieben. Artikel 115 erläutert näher, dass der Bund strukturell, also unabhängig von der konjunkturellen Lage nur Nettokredite im Rahmen von 0,35% des Bruttoinlandproduktes vornehmen darf.

Teoría monetaria moderna
La teoría monetaria moderna (TMM) es una escuela de pensamiento macroeconómico y monetario centrada en el análisis del sistema monetario y crediticio y, en particular, en la cuestión de la creación de crédito por parte del Estado. Bebe de la tradición poskeynesiana y del chartalismo, que fue elaborada por Georg Friedrich Knapp (Ehnts 2020). La TMM cuestiona tres falsas creencias elementales respecto a la teoría monetaria que surgieron en el periodo neoclásico, y puede así entenderse como una alternativa a la concepción neoclásica del dinero.

Understanding Crises - What to take from here for better policy advice in the future?
The world is regularly shaken by crises: some are bigger, others are smaller in scope.

What’s Behind the Subprime Consumer Loan Implosion?
This content submission has two parts: (1) a link to the post by Wolf Richter on deterioration of US subprime credit card debt and loans, driven in part by the overuse of hedonic quality adjustments in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) used by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, and (2) to introduce Exploring Economics to the website Naked Capitalism, which is an effort to promote critical thinking through the medium of a finance and economics blog and fearless commentary.
