Kaum eine Wirtschaft steckt die Pandemie so gut weg wie die deutsche, noch immer ist sie im internationalen Vergleich erfolgreich. Doch vor der romantischen Kulisse von chromblitzenden Maschinen und Weltmarktführern aller Art hat sich schon lange vor Corona ein drängender Haufen Zukunftsfragen aufgetürmt. Die Digitalisierung, die Perspektiven der Schlüsselindustrie Automobil oder die Dekarbonisierung der Wirtschaft generell: Vielen Unternehmen fehlt es an eigenen Ideen, wie eine nachhaltige Wertschöpfung aussehen könnte.

Wir leben in einem parasitären System. Darin ist die schnelle Mitnahme von Gewinn, Shareholderdividenden und Bankerboni attraktiver als das Schaffen von Wert, als der produktive Prozess, der eine gesunde Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft antreibt. Wir verwechseln die Schöpfer mit den Abschöpfern und haben den Blick dafür verloren, was wirklich Wohlstand schafft.

L'imperativo della nostra economia è la crescita - continua, inarrestabile, vertiginosa. È il metro con cui giudichiamo il valore delle nostre società e il prodotto interno lordo è il suo indicatore principale, lo specchio magico che ci dice quanto le nostre economie sono belle e sane, senza, dirci nulla su quanto stiamo bene noi e quanto staranno bene i nostri figli.

A Letter Concerning Toleration by John Locke was originally published in Latin in 1689. It was Locke's response to the problem of religion and government; he proposed religious toleration as the answer. For Locke, the only way a church gains genuine converts is through persuasion, not violence. Arguing that the government should not involve itself in spiritual matters, he offers three main reasons.

Economics and comic books seem to be a world apart. But in the hands of economics professor and comic hero aficionado J. Brian O'Roark, the two form a powerful alliance. With brilliant deadpan enthusiasm, he shows how the travails of superheroes can explain the building blocks of economics and how the laws of economics explain the mysteries of superhero behavior. Why Superman Doesn't Take Over the World: What Superheroes Can Tell Us About Economics probes the motivations of our favorite heroes and considers what it would look like if their stories played out in reality.

Frederick Kaufman tackles the complex history of money, beginning with the earliest myths and wrapping up with Wall Street’s byzantine present-day doings. Along the way, he exposes a set of allegorical plots, stock characters, and stereotypical metaphors that have long been linked with money and commercial culture, from Melanesian trading rituals to the dogma of Medieval churchmen faced with global commerce, the rationales of Mercantilism and colonial expansion, and the U.S. dollar’s 1971 unpinning from gold.

In Divested, Ken-Hou Lin and Megan Tobias Neely document how the ascendance of finance on Wall Street, Main Street, and among households is a fundamental cause of economic inequality. They argue that finance has reshaped the economy in three important ways. First, the financial sector extracts resources from the economy at large without providing commensurate economic benefits to those outside the financial services industry.

The Austrian School of Economics - a movement that has had a vast impact on economics, politics, and society, especially among the American right - is poorly understood by supporters and detractors alike. Defining themselves in opposition to the mainstream, economists such as Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, and Joseph Schumpeter built the School’s international reputation with their work on business cycles and monetary theory. In this collective biography, Janek Wasserman brings these figures to life....

Following books by Malcolm Gladwell and Dan Ariely, noted economics professor William L. Silber explores the Hail Mary effect, from its origins in sports to its applications to history, nature, politics, and business. A quarterback like Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers gambles with a Hail Mary pass...

Denúncia contundente do atual sistema financeiro global, este livro examina com rigor a maneira como o valor econômico foi atribuído ao longo da história e revela como a teoria econômica falhou em definir com clareza a diferença entre produção e apropriação de valor. Mariana Mazzucato argumenta que essa distinção cada vez menos nítida vem permitindo que certos atores econômicos se movimentem predatoriamente em torno de um valor existente ou, pior ainda, o destruam.

In Un-Civilizing America: How Win-Win Deals Make Us Better, bestselling author William Bonner delivers an incisive and engrossing account of the American economy, the four simple steps to earning money the honest way, and why many choose the dishonest way instead.

Ogni comunità ha bisogno di giustificare le proprie disuguaglianze: l'uomo deve trovare le ragioni di queste disparità per non rischiare di vedere crollare l'intero edificio politico e sociale. In questa chiave, anche molte ideologie del passato non appaiono più così irragionevoli, se paragonate al nostro presente. Conoscere la molteplicità delle traiettorie e delle biforcazioni della storia può infatti aiutarci a interrogare le fondamenta delle nostre istituzioni e a intuire le loro trasformazioni.

In Beyond Material Salvation, Licensed Insolvency Trustee Shawn Stack pulls back the curtain on Canada’s debt system, exposing how insolvency isn’t just about numbers—it’s about identity, shame, exploitation, and the stories we’re told about what we owe and to whom. With the insight of a professional and the compassion of someone who’s seen real people in crisis, Stack challenges the myths surrounding bankruptcy, credit counselling, and “financial responsibility.” He offers an unflinching look at how the system often rewards silence and shame while punishing honesty and vulnerability.

We make choices all the time - about how to spend our money, about how to spend our time, about what to do with our lives. And we are also constantly judging the decisions other people make as rational or irrational. But what kind of criteria are we applying when we say that a choice is rational? What guides our own choices, especially in cases where we don't have complete information about the outcomes? What strategies should be applied in making decisions which affect a lot of people, as in the case of government policy?

EVE: Extra Value Economics: The General Theory of Time-Satisfaction, and the Move to More is a natural law treatise filled with “time bomb” concepts that will shake the foundations of modern economics. At the heart of this new economic model is time-satisfaction and the two-clock solution, which crack the code to understanding value—everything else can be derived from there.
