Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science

This is the first book to present a new approach of institutional design as an evolutionary applied policy based on coherent conceptualization and methodology, and to study the actuality and implications of diversifying real/virtual community currencies. In contrast to a de facto standard theory, an institutional ecosystem can be composed of various institutions that continue to coexist with changing relative frequencies. In this view, diversified monetary institutions with local rules are feasible and realistic. Community currencies are worldwide attempts to redress such problems as financial instability, chronic stagnation, and decline of communities caused by globalization of the economy. Considering those alternative movements as a new type of policy, "evolutionist institutional design", this book clarifies the feasibility and significance of community currencies in the current era of globalization. The book also provides a better understanding than mainstream approaches of such platform institutions as money that determine fundamental means of cognition and action of interacting agents. Money is a symbolically generalized communication medium in the mesodomain that mediates between socioeconomic performance and patterns in the macrodomain and motives and cognitive frameworks in the microdomain. Conventional national systems of money and finance are platform institutions that determine basic replicators for a capitalistic market economy to evolve. In contrast, community currencies conveying both economic and social/cultural values are distinct platform institutions that are expected to endogenously change such basic replicators in outer and inner institutions for agents to a noncapitalistic market economy. These currencies are considered target institutions for "media design" in the framework of evolutionist institutional design.

An Evolutionist Institutional Design Approach

Community Currency

Populism, a significant phenomenon in today’s liberal democracies, deserves in-depth analysis, and here is the most comprehensive book on populism recently, covering the Politics of Populism as well as the Economics of Populism and What to Do About It.&nbsp; So far, the discussion has suffered from the fact that social scientists critical of capitalism have used populism as a new opportunity to rail against the market economy or that populism has been seen as an understandable “cultural backlash” against the excesses of green and left-wing activists.&nbsp; Neither approach points to a realistic solution.&nbsp; Heiko J. Starossom’s analysis, presented in his book, boldly departs from the traditional approach, offering a fresh and enlightening perspective.&nbsp; He examines populism from an interdisciplinary point of view, not just focusing on the economy but also including cultural and psychological aspects, leaving the ideological left-right scheme behind.&nbsp; One way to address a problem is to eliminate its causes.&nbsp; In the “Politics of Populism,” he identifies three leading political causes: “cartel parties” or the convergence of the major political parties, the latent authoritarian tendency of a significant proportion of the population, and the loss of established status–a concept that refers to the erosion of traditional social hierarchies and norms.&nbsp; In the context of the “Economics of Populism,” possible economic triggers of populism are unemployment and pressure on wages due to globalization or technological progress and economic inequality.&nbsp; Unfortunately, there may be no easy solution to the principal political and economic drivers of populism.&nbsp; The answer, thus, lies in a revitalized philosophy that champions the meaning in life and places the community at its center.&nbsp; Strengthening human relationships in family and community is perhaps the most critical source of meaning in life and could be a promising solution worth trying.&nbsp; &nbsp;The AuthorHeiko J. Starossom, an adjunct professor at the University of Bremen, Germany, divides his time between Naples, Florida, and Bremen, Germany. &nbsp;

Politics and Economics of Populism, and What to Do About It

From Populism to People

To change the world, we need a money revolution. Yet the debate over money has been dominated by two perspectives: those free-market capitalists who want money to rule everything, and those who want the state to harness money's power. Decolonizing Money presents an anarchist theory of money which sets out strategies for collective liberation beyond state and capital. 

Drawing on anarchist, abolitionist and anti-colonial feminist traditions, Julio Linares makes the heretical argument for a grassroots democratic movement to abolish the imperialist US dollar as a necessary step towards the cancellation of debt and establishing a worldwide basic income. Linares shows that money, beyond a store of value and a medium of exchange, is a series of promises a society makes to itself - and he challenges us to make them otherwise. 

This innovative book takes up lessons from global history and social movements in order to unleash the political imagination. It shows us how the creation, use and most importantly the destruction of money are forms of power that need to be reclaimed through direct action, as part of a radical democratic project for autonomy and self-determination.

Decolonizing Money

Since the United States hosted the Leaders' Summit on Climate in 2021, numerous countries have committed to net-zero emission targets. Given the size of their economies, populations, and greenhouse gas emissions, emerging markets and developing economies in South, East, and Southeast Asia will play a key role in determining whether or not these targets are achieved. The Net-Zero Transitions in Energy and Finance focuses on the net-zero transition in Southeast Asia and applies the lessons learned to other major emerging markets and developing economies. It argues that net-zero emission targets require not only synchronised changes of the complementary elements in energy systems but also in the financial institutions that fund and invest in facilitating system transitions. Proposing novel frameworks for analysing electricity system transitions with empirical evidence, this book identifies enabling factors, drivers, and barriers, and offers solutions for overcoming the challenges of multi-sector transitions.

This book analyses the rationale and the basic design of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme and discusses its workings during the first two trading periods and the initiation of the third phase, following a revision of the scheme. It offers a critical assessment of the EU ETS from a radical political economy standpoint.

This comprehensive volume serves as a complete and concise view of climate engineering, where geoengineering is an umbrella term for human interventions that change and modify the earth's climate system. It offers in-depth coverage of how human activity is shaping the earth more than natural forces; where it can be seen as a way of redesigning and modifying the atmosphere of the planet. It offers more viable solutions for climate engineering through theory, technology, and practice, as they relate to established technologies as well as recent and future advancements.

This book examines the profound economic, political, and social challenges posed by climate change, on the basis of a rigorous analysis of the cost of doing too little to control it and of the costs, benefits, and trade-offs of various mitigation strategies. It uniquely explores the global economic mechanisms and power dynamics driving inaction. Packed with case studies and actionable insights, it bridges complex economic theories and links them to practical solutions, making it an important resource for policymakers, academics, and thinkers focused on solutions.

Wie gelingt Zukunftsfähigkeit in einer komplexen Welt? Unsere Welt ist im Wandel - technologisch, global, ökologisch. Selbst Handlungskonzepte wie das "grüne Wachstum" wirken zunehmend unsicher, vor allem auf einem Planeten mit begrenzten Ressourcen und wachsender Weltbevölkerung. Dieses Lehrbuch lädt dazu ein, neue Perspektiven zu gewinnen: Wie können sich Unternehmen und Standorte zukunftsfähig ausrichten? Und: Was müssen wir aus Sicht der Volkswirtschaftslehre - disziplinär und interdisziplinär - hierfür über komplex adaptive Systeme lernen?&nbsp; Das erforderliche Komplexitätsverständnis wird in drei Teilen Schritt für Schritt entwickelt und mit Blick auf die Nachhaltigkeit anwendungsbezogen veranschaulicht. &nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Teil 1 bietet inspirierende Einblicke in die Vielfalt menschlicher Handlungsweisen, vom rationalen bis zum vielschichtigen Menschen, der sich von Narrativen, Emotionen und kognitiven Verzerrungen beeinflussen lässt.•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Teil 2 sieht den Menschen als Systemelement bzw. Akteur und beleuchtet systemische Wechselwirkungen bei zunehmendem Komplexitätsgrad. Die Vorstellungen von einem "guten Leben" wandeln sich, von materiellen Lebensstandards und sozialer Gerechtigkeit hin zu Krisenresilienz und transformativer Leistungsfähigkeit.•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Teil 3 stellt Ideen vor, wie die Governance menschengemachter Systeme mittels Regulierung, Kulturentwicklung und Nudging gelingen kann, wenn wir von der Partizipation in Wissens- und Lernnetzwerken und potenzieller Selbstwirksamkeit ausgehen.Das Buch bietet Impulse für Lehre, Forschung und Praxis. Es eignet sich nicht nur für Studierende und Lehrende der Volkswirtschaftslehre. Es eröffnet auch Lehrenden der Sekundarstufe und Erwachsenenbildung neue Sichten sowie denjenigen, die in Wirtschaft, Verbänden, Politik, Verwaltung oder in zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen beratend aktiv sind. Kurzum: Ein Buch für alle, die systemischen Wandel nicht nur verstehen, sondern mitgestalten wollen.Die AutorinBettina Burger-Menzel ist Professorin für Volkswirtschaftslehre, insbesondere Wettbewerbs- und Strukturpolitik, an der Technischen Hochschule Brandenburg.
