Dollar Dominanz

Wie eine Währung die Welt regiert

A rich history of the development of American minimum wage policy with lessons for today. Despite broad popular support for robust minimum wage policy, the federal minimum wage is now worth less--in real, inflation-adjusted terms--than at any time since 1949. While some state and local governments have stepped in to fill this void, others have declined to set any minimum wage standard at all. Traversing more than 100 years of history, Raising the Floor examines how interest groups have navigated the highly decentralized American political system to shape the development of federal, state, and local minimum wage laws. In her analysis, Shanna Rose highlights the importance of American federalism. She argues that because federalism creates multiple arenas for policy change, interest groups have sought out the sites most conducive to their goals, shifting their lobbying efforts as new obstacles and opportunities emerge. Federalism has facilitated minimum wage policymaking by fostering policy experimentation, learning, and diffusion across states and by allowing state and local governments to overcome gridlock and status-quo biases at the national level. Yet, federalism has also been an instrument for containment, enabling those opposed to minimum wage increases to litigate and preempt local-level laws. With rich historical chapters that illuminate different phases in the development of today's patchwork of wage standards, Raising the Floor is a deep examination of the past, present, and future of American minimum wage law.

Phenomenal World Books

A critical history of the US dollar's dominance in the world economy--and what has kept China's currency from overtaking it. The dollar is the primary currency of the world economy. With China now rivaling the United States on the world stage, a critical question hangs in the balance: will the Chinese renminbi challenge the status of the dollar and, in doing so, deprive America of its "exorbitant privilege"? In GreenbackEmpire, Ho-fung Hung offers a powerful account of why, even as American shares of global production, ownership, and trade continue to decline, its currency has retained the support of governments and investors around the world. For six decades, Hung shows, the dominance of the dollar has rested on the security umbrella that the US offers to the world's wealthiest countries--including oil producers. To these countries, support for the value of the dollar is tantamount to maintaining US protection. While China has become a serious geopolitical and economic rival to the US, the Chinese state's airtight control of its financial system has delayed the free trading of the renminbi, limiting the currency's internationalization. In short, the same strategy that engineered growth in China's economy is restraining its currency's rise in opposition to the dollar. Hung's Greenback Empire is an essential history of the dollar's prowess, indispensable for understanding the future of the global monetary system.

An insider's guide to our broken economy and how it fails to serve us.'A fascinating examination of the failures of modern economics, and how these failures are harming us all' Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism'Easily one of the most compelling economics communicators of our generation.'Yuan Yang, FT columnist and MP for Earley and WoodleyDid you know that while we think of money as notes issued by the government, the truth is that the overwhelming majority of money today is credit created by private banks?Did you know that the reason housing keeps getting less accessible is because we haven't found a way to separate houses from land in our policies?And did you know that far from globalisation being a mystical force, certain countries and currencies have dominated the way it has played out - to their own advantage?Whilst economics is at the heart of the society we live in, governing so many functions from our taxes to where we live to the price of our shopping, few of us have a strong grasp on the subject. This book is here to help.Why We're Getting Poorer delves into the key topics in economics - money, globalisation, inequality, climate change and growth - showing that what we think we know about these things is wrong, and teaching us what we really need to know. Deciphering the jargon and complexity of economic thinking, with examples ranging from the Simpsons to the German football league to The Inbetweeners, Cahal Moran shows us why our economy set us up to fail, and offers suggestions for how we can make positive changes.Written by an award-winning economist and the YouTuber responsible for 'Unlearning Economics', Why We're Getting Poorer is a thrilling, iconoclastic guide to how the world really works.

Economics for an Unfair World

Why We’re Getting Poorer

Between 2009 and 2026, gold tripled in value, the average American home doubled in price, and cryptocurrencies crashed into existence and soared to a total valuation of $3 trillion. This vast accumulation of wealth is not a sign of economic health. The world is now awash with so much money that investors struggle to find productive outlets for their cash. In Surplus, Marc Chandler argues that too much of a good thing can bring a society to its knees. After decades of striving for more, humanity is now suffocating under the weight of an unprecedented economic surplus — a global excess of capital and productive capacity that has grown too large to accommodate. Tracing the history of the surplus, from the first agricultural societies to today's age of negative interest rates and asset speculation, Chandler shows how every great surplus in human history has forced societies to remake their institutions and values. The current surplus is already reshaping the West, fostering inequality and straining the foundations of liberal democracy. Humanity has become like King Midas: everything we touch turns to gold. But unless we learn to manage the surplus, we will end up choking on the very abundance our societies were built to pursue. In this sweeping examination of surplus throughout civilizations, Surplus shows that times of plenty are an under-appreciated engine of economic growth and social development, sometimes providing a catalyst for radical transformations. Through memorable analogies and sharp insights, Chandler passionately argues for a new synthesis of freedom and equality, showing that the basis for such a transformation exists today precisely because of the vast surplus we have amassed.

Zwischen 1939 und 1945 prägten Zwangsarbeit und Ausbeutung den Alltag der Stuttgarter Kriegswirtschaft. Zehntausende Männer und Frauen aus dem nationalsozialistisch besetzten Europa mussten unter oft unmenschlichen Bedingungen für die Fabriken, Behörden und Bürger der schwäbischen Industrie- und heutigen Landeshauptstadt arbeiten. Diese Studie rekonstruiert erstmals umfassend die Lebens- und Arbeitsbedingungen der Zwangsarbeiterinnen und Zwangsarbeiter in Stuttgart und beleuchtet die komplexen Verflechtungen zwischen ideologischen Vorgaben, kommunaler Verantwortung und privatem Profit. Wo fanden diese Menschen Unterkunft? Wie sah ihr Alltag aus? Welche Handlungsspielräume besaßen die Stuttgarter Entscheidungsträger in Stadtverwaltung und Rüstungswirtschaft im Umgang mit ihnen? Und schließlich: Wie wirkte sich die Umkehr der Machtverhältnisse in der Stadt nach dem Kriegsende auf das Verhältnis von Deutschen und ehemaligen ausländischen Zwangsarbeiterinnen und Zwangsarbeitern aus? Anhand zahlreicher Quellen zeigt die Arbeit, dass die "rassenideologisch" gelenkte Kriegswirtschaft nur durch individuelle Entscheidungen vor Ort umgesetzt werden konnte. Sie verdeutlicht, wie die Haltung einzelner Stuttgarterinnen und Stuttgarter das Leben und Überleben der Zwangsarbeiterinnen und Zwangsarbeiter unmittelbar beeinflusste - zum Guten wie zum Schlechten. Unter Berücksichtigung eines einzigartigen Quellenbestands in Form von Fragebögen ehemaliger Opfer aus Osteuropa eröffnet diese Untersuchung neue Einblicke in das System der nationalsozialistischen Zwangsarbeit.

Kriegswirtschaft und Zwangsarbeit in Stuttgart 1939-1945

Contributions to Economics

This book is of interest to economists working in applied demand analysis, marketing professionals studying product substitution and complementarity, and policymakers evaluating the effects of taxes, subsidies, and regulatory interventions on consumer behavior. Applying the analytical framework on the internal structure of consumption, this book explores how different categories of consumer spending interact and how these relationships shape the broader structure of consumption.The analyses focus on timely and policy-relevant issues, including the distributional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, the implementation of safe drinking water standards (with particular attention to low-income households), and the potential effects of carbon taxes on consumer expenditures.A key strength of the framework lies in its ability to derive comprehensive arrays of own- and cross-price elasticities from household expenditure survey data—even in the absence of direct price information.

Ob 'Kippcouch', 'Schneckenbecker', 'Kellerassel', 'Fliegender Holländer', 'Gockel', 'Knoblauch Ede' oder 'Rolli' - Spitznamen sind oft derb, zeigen aber auch Vertrautheit - wie in einer guten, intakten Familie. In die der Leipziger Straßenbahnfahrerinnen und ¿fahrer wurde der Autor Mitte der 1970er-Jahre aufgenommen, als 'Karussell-Muske'.
In diesem Buch entfacht er ein Feuerwerk der Erinnerungen, zugleich eine Geschichte des wichtigsten Verkehrsunternehmens der Messestadt in den letzten über 50 Jahren. Dabei geht es vor allem um die Menschen, die mit Hingabe, größter Disziplin, Pünktlichkeit und Einsatzbereitschaft ihre Fahrgäste tagtäglich durch Leipzig fuhren - keine Heldentaten und aus einer Welt von gestern, aber unterhaltsam, flott und warmherzig erzählt.

An award-winning economic journalist on why the US dollar is positioned to maintain global primacy—and what that means for America and the world &nbsp; “Magisterial.”—Edward Chancellor, Reuters &nbsp; Prophecies that the dollar will lose its status as the world’s dominant currency have echoed for decades—and are increasing in volume. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts claim that Bitcoin or other blockchain-based monetary units will replace the dollar. Foreign policy hawks warn that China’s renminbi poses a lethal threat to the greenback. And sound money zealots predict that mounting US debt and inflation will surely erode the dollar’s value to the point of irrelevancy. &nbsp; Contra the doomsayers, Paul Blustein shows that the dollar’s standing atop the world’s currency pyramid is impregnable, barring catastrophic policy missteps by the US government. Recounting how the United States has wielded the dollar to impose devastating sanctions against adversaries, Blustein explains that although targets such as Russia have found ways to limit the damage, Washington’s financial weaponry will retain potency long into the future. His message, however, is that America must not be complacent about the dollar; the great power that its supremacy confers comes with commensurate responsibility.

Eine praxisorientierte Einführung

Wirtschaftspolitik

The material assembled in this volume offers a deeper insight into Walter Eucken's attitudes, thought, and actions during the darkest years of Germany's history: the period of National Socialism. Although Eucken, like his associates, destroyed potentially incriminating documents after the failed assassination attempt by Count Stauffenberg on Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944, the surviving texts mark key stages in a process that ultimately led this determined opponent of the Nazi regime - an opponent from the very beginning - into active resistance against Hitler. 
 

 What rendered Eucken immune to National Socialism from the outset was his philosophically grounded abhorrence of the dissolution of the free individual into the collective, as is inherent in all totalitarian, especially 
 völkisch
 (ethno-nationalist) ideologies. His systematic opposition to the Nazi regime began with refusal, open protest, and confrontation, particularly in response to the rapid 
 Gleichschaltung
 (forced coordination) of the universities, Martin Heidegger's rectorship, and the dismantling of academic freedom by the Nazis. Following Germany's invasion of Poland and several ultimately unsuccessful attempts to exert positive influence on the centers of power in Berlin, his resistance culminated in a - necessarily cautious - participation in conspiratorial activities as an advisor and confidant to the plotters. 
 

 The texts in this volume include notes and sketches of ideas, completed manuscripts that remained unpublished during his lifetime, published essays, a transcript of the lecture "Kampf der Wissenschaften," the record of a public discussion with a Nazi district leader, an expert report commissioned by the Reich Ministry of Economics on possible "sources of war financing" at the end of 1939, the academically significant essay "Wettbewerb als Grundprinzip der Wirtschaftsverfassung" prepared within the Academy for German Law, the chapter Eucken authored for the "Primer of Economics" initiated by Carl Goerdeler, as well as the appendix he co-authored to the memorandum "Wirtschafts- und Sozialordnung" of the Bonhoeffer Circle. This memorandum was prepared on behalf of the Confessing Church with a view to a future world church conference planned for the time after the war and the hoped-for overthrow of Hitler. Retrospective additions include, among other things, Eucken's "Notizen über die Haltung der rechts- und staatswissenschaftlichen Fakultät in Freiburg während der Herrschaft des Nationalsozialismus," his funeral oration for his prematurely deceased colleague Adolf Lampe, and drafts for an obituary of Hans Großmann-Doerth, with whom, together with Franz Böhm, Eucken had launched the research program of the Freiburg School: the development of a legal order conceived as an economic constitution, whose fundamental principle would be competition.
 

 These materials make it possible to trace how Eucken, precisely through his confrontation with the rapidly escalating regime of injustice - with the enforced 
 Gleichschaltung
 , the increasing move toward a planned economy, the persecution of the Jews culminating in genocide, the other atrocities of the dictatorship, and the devastating Second World War - was able to sharpen his conception of a "humane and functional order," diametrically opposed to such a cataclysm. Eucken's theoretical design of a competitive order would later provide direction in the postwar years for the establishment of a social market economy in the young Federal Republic of Germany.

Auflehnung gegen den NS-Staat

Deutschland – europäisches Kraftzentrum und ökonomische Supermacht – steht vor einem epochalen Umbruch. Seine über Jahrzehnte stabile und erfolgreiche Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftsordnung gerät zunehmend ins Wanken. Im Zentrum dieser Entwicklung steht ein Geflecht an systemischen Herausforderungen, das weit über den nationalstaatlichen Rahmen hinausreicht. Es betrifft nicht nur die Zukunftsfähigkeit der Europäischen Union, des Eurosystems und der internationalen Klimagemeinschaft, sondern stellt in seiner Gesamtheit eine beispiellose Belastungsprobe für das wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Erfolgsmodell der Bundesrepublik seit ihrer Gründung dar. 

Dieses Buch analysiert die zentralen Herausforderungen im nationalen und europäischen Kontext und zeigt Lösungsansätze auf. Für diese Auflage wurde es grundlegend erweitert und aktualisiert und ein neuer Schwerpunkt auf Europa gesetzt.

This book analyses how preindustrial monetary practices functioned, focusing on Europe and some selected colonial areas between the fourteenth and twentieth centuries.&nbsp; It explores the major contexts in which monetary circulation operated and provides a fascinating range of case studies from experts in the field.A primary context for this edited volume is the raft of challenges associated with cash in the preindustrial period. Covering issues such as the slow circulation of coins, the risk of debasement, clipping, the first proto currency, and parallel circulation of several currencies, the book offers insight into the ways in which people dealt with the need to transact and exchange payment. It focuses on cash-equivalent goods and commodity currencies as well as traditional cash methods, looking at the physical development of money as well as exploring the structure of payment methods and financial systems in past societies.Grounded in extensive archival research, chapters use a range of sources such as notary deeds, wills, rent-books, expenditure accounts and public ledgers to analyse the dynamics of circulation and transaction in various settings, from the city to the countryside, regional to international contexts, and different European states. This will be highly valuable reading for scholars interested in financial and monetary history.Giuseppe De Luca
