In this episode of the Planet Money podcast, the Caribbean island of Barbuda is used as an example to explore the notion of property rights. Until the island was struck by Hurricane Irma in November 2017 the island belonged to all Barbudans. First, there is a brief historic background given why there was communal ownership of the island and why it has changed since the disaster had struck the island. Second, different forms of property rights are shortly illustrated including their implications, pros and cons.

Comment from our editors:

An easy to follow and tangible exploration of the attempt to introduce property rights on the Carribean island of Barbuda. Voices from both sides are represented regarding the implementation of landownership. Liz Alden Wily (a guest staff member of the Van Vollenhoven Institute) briefly illustrates different forms of property rights, its function and implication in capitalism.

Capitalism + Patriarchy = Women's Hidden Work

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.
