In vielen gesellschaftlichen Debatten sind zwei unversöhnliche Lager entstanden, die im Feind-Freund-Schema denken und handeln, die aber zu Gemeinsamkeit und Kompromiss nicht mehr in der Lage sind. Das trägt verhängnisvoll zur Delegitimierung unserer demokratischen Institutionen bei.&nbsp;
 
 Gerade angesichts der Herausforderung der Dekarbonisierung und der weltpolitischen Lage mit aggressiven autokratischen Regimen auf dem Vormarsch können sich die demokratischen Wohlstandsnationen Europas und Nordamerikas eine solche Selbst-Schwächung nicht leisten. Eine Stärkung des sozialen Vertrauens und Zusammenhalts ist notwendig, um die Zukunft zu bestehen. Hierbei kommt der Wirtschaft eine Schlüsselrolle zu. Wir brauchen eine Ökonomie der Versöhnung.&nbsp;
 
 Die Geschichte insbesondere des New Deals und der sozialen Marktwirtschaft hat gezeigt: Es ist möglich, über große wirtschaftspolitische Programme nicht nur gesellschaftliche Spaltung zu überwinden, sondern auch Frieden zu sichern. Diese Programme sind heute nicht wiederholbar – unabdinglich wird aber sein, in sozialen Zusammenhalt gezielt zu investieren. Es geht nicht bloß um materielle Besserstellung, sondern um umfassende gesellschaftliche Teilhabe und soziale Anerkennung aller gesellschaftlichen Gruppen.&nbsp;

Ökonomie der Versöhnung

Why fear of risk is holding us back, and how we can reclaim the confidence to thrive in unpredictable timesSomething is out of sync in today's economy. People feel insecure and unable to reach their potential. We worry that the world has become too risky, that investing is only for the rich, that our nest egg might not last, that it's all or nothing. We retreat into lives of minimal uncertainty. Economist Allison Schrager argues that there has never been a better time to take risks, and yet we as a society have never been more risk-averse. She explains how the fears surrounding risk are unfounded-and that these myths are exactly why so many are falling behind. In the meantime, the very wealthy are still taking risks that generate outsized rewards and widen economic divides.Blending economic history and behavioral science, Schrager traces how our understanding and tolerance of risk have changed-how we have become less willing to open a business, start a family, or even drive a car. Along the way, she reveals the secrets of unconventional risk-takers, from a mob hit man to America's last frontiersman to a high-wire walker.In this reassuring book, Schrager explains how to assess uncertainty, make better choices, and reclaim the upside of risk, allowing each of us to contribute to a more dynamic economy-and to live a more fulfilling life.

The Seven Myths That Keep Us from Taking the Chances We Need to Take

Principles of Fintech

A provocative new theory of "the economy," its history, and its politics that better unites history and economics What is the economy, really? Is it a "market sector," a "general equilibrium," or the "gross domestic product"? Economics today has become so preoccupied with methods that economists risk losing sight of the economy itself. Meanwhile, other disciplines, although often intent on criticizing the methods of economics, have failed to articulate an alternative vision of the economy. Before the ascent of postwar neoclassical economics, fierce debates raged, as many different visions of the economy circulated and competed with one another. In The Real Economy, Jonathan Levy returns to the spirit of this earlier era, which, in all its contentiousness, gave birth to the discipline of economics. Drawing inspiration particularly from Thorstein Veblen and John Maynard Keynes, Levy proposes a theory of the economy that is open to rich empirical and historical scrutiny, covering topics that include the emergence of capitalism, the notion of radical uncertainty, the meaning of demand, the primal desire for money, the history of corporations, and contemporary globalization. Writing for anyone interested in the study of the economy, Levy provides an invaluable provocation for a broader debate in the social sciences and humanities concerning what "the economy" is.

History and Theory

The Real Economy

A searing exposé of the new tools of corporate profiteering and a field guide to the deceptive tactics companies are using to cheat consumers out of their money—and how we can get ahead of them—from a leading voice in economic policy and executive director of a corporate watchdog think tank Everywhere you turn, Americans are getting ripped off: Landlords use software to band together and organize artificial rent hikes. Ride-sharing apps spike the price of trips when your phone is about to die. Online ticket sellers hide behind exorbitant processing fees. And car companies install software that reports your driving behavior to insurance companies so that they can raise your premiums. Price gouging is the latest frontier in corporate profiteering—and it’s gutting the American economy and your wallet. In Gouged, economist and veteran consumer advocate Lindsay Owens takes us inside the corporate boardrooms where pricing decisions are made, uncovering the tricks, traps, and outright fraud corporations use to jack up the price you pay at checkout. From data collection to drone surveillance, modern technology provides companies a staggering arsenal of sophisticated tools to squeeze as much money out of consumers as possible, bringing in record profits as a result. Drawing on original reporting, shareholder meeting transcripts, and rigorous economic analysis, Owens takes aim at big-tech behemoths, airlines, health insurance companies, and more to pull back the curtain on how price gougers are coming for almost every line item in your household budget, from doctors’ visits to rent, groceries, and even your summer vacation. Gouged arms us with the essential knowledge we need to first recognize, then sidestep the traps that corporations try to conceal from us. In a world where price gouging has become ubiquitous, Gouged is necessary reading for anyone looking to stay an informed consumer, save money rather than surrender it to greedy CEOs, and stand up for fair prices in America.

The End of a Fair Price--and What That Means for Your Wallet

Gouged

A new paradigm based on quantum probability that can model stock markets and price options—and also upends classical quantitative finance. In The Quantum Stock Market, David Orrell combines theory and new empirical findings to argue for a new approach to finance based on quantum probability. The main finding, a property called q-variance, may be unique in finance in that it was discovered as the result of a prediction, affects financial markets in general, has no tunable parameter, and has important consequences for a range of topics including the pricing of financial options. The property, which somehow eluded detection for over a century, has been verified by experts in the field. And the fact that it is incompatible with classical finance—which is perhaps why it went undetected—suggests that the field must be reinvented. The aim of this book is therefore nothing less than to initiate a paradigm shift in finance. As with any new work that challenges existing methods, the ideas have already received considerable pushback from a range of sources, including leaders in the field of finance, along with physicists skeptical of applying quantum probability outside its traditional domain. Written in an interdisciplinary style that mixes mathematical equations, data analysis, and informed comment on the field of finance, it should be read by anyone—including students, academics, and practitioners—who wants to be on the right side of a paradigm shift.

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives

This book integrates diversified disciplines, research approaches, and methodologies of area studies, regional economic development, and regional science. With its huge population, China has accomplished rapid economic growth since the 1990s, although the significant income gap among regions and individuals has become a serious problem for its society. China's accession to the WTO in 2001 has had various influences on the entire food system, from agriculture to consumers, through the food manufacturing and distribution industries. The changes in the Chinese food system are considered to have also affected the agriculture and food industries in Asian countries where economic interdependence has been promoted in past decades. The author argues these issues based on interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary methods and approaches and has successfully derived empirical and theoretical results that are rich in policy implications. The topics addressed include food security and sustainability of agriculture especially in the suburbs of big cities; poverty reduction in rural agricultural areas amidst prosperity in urban and coastal areas; regional networks and international trade of the food industry in East Asia; creation of innovative knowledge and human capital for clustering of the agro-food sector; regional development strategy; and international cooperation. The book is interesting for researchers in the field, especially for those who are concerned with the food system that has been changed dynamically in the past two decades, and it is informative, as well, for practitioners who are engaged in related business.

The housing market and communal economy in Ukraine and Eastern Europe

From the author of A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at cryptocurrencies from the left, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism. 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a $3.7 trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are disaffected by an economic and financial system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Challenge any of these notions, or raise concerns about crypto's associations with money laundering, the speculative bubbles ballooning around these assets, or the disastrous climate implications of the technology behind crypto, and you'll be told by proselytizers that you simply don't understand. That complexity is often intentional, serving as a shield from critical scrutiny. 
 
Enter Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she opens up alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually look like.
