Standort Deutschland ist ein Hort von trägen, selbstzufriedenen Besitzstandwahrern, diagnostiziert ein Chor von Experten und verlangt, dass wir so mobil, flexibel und risikobereit wie die Amerikaner werden. Alles ist auf dem Prüfstand: der Sozialstaat, die Gewerkschaften, unsere Stabilitätskultur, unsere Ordnungspolitik. Alles Unsinn, sagt Detlef Gürtler und fordert Schluss mit dem Gejammer über vermeintliche Schwächen, die in Wahrheit unsere Stärken sind. Detlef Gürtler, Jahrgang 1964, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin, Marbella und Rüschlikon bei Zürich.

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.

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.

Probation officer jobs and intake coordinator jobs have to be "dummied up" as a way of funneling still-needed welfare dollars to them.

Widespread ignorance regarding free markets permeates both the Left and the Right. Not only are most talking heads ignorant of how a free market works, they don't even know what a free market is. Does a free market economy lead to depressions, monopolies, unemployment, and price gouging, as critics allege? Or is it the antidote to such problems? Moreover, doesn't a free market foster inequality? Doesn't it allow businessmen to exploit workers and rip-off consumers? Or does a free market benefit everyone?

In most accounts of the origins of money, we are offered pleasant tales in which it arises to the mutual benefit of all parties as a result of barter. In this groundbreaking study David McNally reveals the true story of money's origins and development as one of violence and human bondage. Money's emergence and its transformation are shown to be intimately connected to the buying and selling of slaves and the waging of war.

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.

The world needs to change for us to reach our highest potential.

This is why it's essential to strive toward a post-money society by embracing cryptocurrencies combined with resource-based economic principles to put us on the path to a better future.
