Hadsell L: Social Economies

Social Economies

How Society Shapes and is Shaped by Economic Thinking

'Fake Coins' nimmt Bitcoin und seine Versprechen von Freiheit und Gleichheit ernst. Es analysiert die monetäre Utopie hinter der digitalen Währung, verfolgt ihre Ursprünge in der Denkweise der paläolibertären Bewegung und zeigt geldhistorisch und geldtheoretisch, warum Bitcoin, allen Hoffnungen zum Trotz, nicht die Zukunft des Geldes werden wird. Und warum das die meisten von uns begrüßen sollten.

Digitales Geld und analoge Freiheit

“A full-frontal attack on France’s blind spot – regionalism – demonstrating that regional structures and identities were part of her reconstruction and modernisation after the First World War. Deeply researched and a masterly comparative study.”
—Robert Gildea, Emeritus Professor, University of Oxford
“With his deep research into economic organisations at the grass-roots level, Terence Cudbird provides an important chapter in the continuing exploration of the unique story of France’s social and economic development between the wars.”
—Julian Wright, Professor, Northumbria University
“Cudbird’s careful archival research demonstrates that, in the wake of the First World War, French regionalism was not just the concern of intellectuals and traditionalists.&nbsp;Industrialists and government ministers also saw the need to decentralise. Bringing decision-making closer to local stakeholders enabled significant change in the interwar period, the achievements of which are documented here, in many cases for the first time.”
—David Hopkin, Professor of History, University of Oxford, Oxford
This book provides a comprehensive account of the achievements of the economic regions set up in France after the First World War. It identifies exactly how they operated, as well as critical success factors such as effective leadership. Some recent historians have taken a very negative view of the part played by these regions in economic development. This new study instead argues that they made a significant contribution and laid the foundations for the regions created in France after 1945. The key areas which they identified: transport, power generation, and technical education, have remained the preoccupations of regional governments in France and elsewhere to this day. The author covers the needs of commerce and industry, but also agriculture and tourism. Based on fresh research using a wide range of primary sources, this book will appeal to economic historians, economists, and geographers, as well as historians with a particular interest in France.
Terence Cudbird gained his doctorate from the University of Oxford in 2020 and is an Associate Member of the History Faculty there. He published an article on the French regions in French History in 2023.

Building a Sustainable Political Economy: SPERI Research & Policy

Crisis has become a ubiquitous feature of contemporary life which is increasingly dominated by financial collapse, global pandemics, geopolitical upheavals, and climate breakdown. Too often, however, the contours, causes and consequences of crises are taken for granted. Adapted from the popular SPERI Presents... podcast series Crisis Point, this volume seeks to understand the role of crisis in the development and reproduction of capitalism. Each chapter is an interview with an expert political economy scholar, also weaving through the editors’ own analysis. By examining capitalism's historical crises, the volume makes sense of contemporary crisis dynamics from housing to populism to climate. Combining the theoretical and historical rigour of scholarly analysis with an accessible conversational style, the volume makes intelligible the structural drivers of crisis for scholars, students, activists and informed observers of global politics alike.

The Political Economy of Capitalist Crises

Bar oder mit Karte? Oder doch mit App oder Blockchain? Sebastian Gießmanns rasante Geschichte der Kreditkarte führt uns in die verborgenen Welten des digitalen Bezahlens. Sie zeigt erstmals, wie unsere digitale Gegenwart in Nordamerika mit einer kleinen Plastikkarte begonnen hat, was Magnetstreifen und Chips eigentlich bedeuten und wie Europa einmal führend im digitalen Bezahlen werden konnte. Gießmann führt die Leser:innen elegant in die verschwiegene Innenwelt von Banken, Kreditkartenorganisationen und computerisierter High-Tech-Sicherheit. Er würdigt die Alltäglichkeit der Transaktion ebenso wie die irrwitzigen true crimes des Kreditkartenbetrugs. Das Kreditkarten-Buch fragt nach der Wahrheit hinter den Werbeslogans, Firmenlogos und Fernsehspots. Wie wir bezahlen, ist politisch. Soziale Teilhabe und Differenz, Konsum, finanzielle Überwachung, die Zukunft des Bargeldes: Im digitalen Bezahlen steht nicht weniger auf dem Spiel als unsere ökonomische Identität.

Die USA nach Trump

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.

Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

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.

Every day, data is collected about how you live. This data is owned by large technology companies in the US and China. Google, Facebook, Amazon, and TikTok have become such a big part of society that important decisions are being moved from democratic assemblies to closed boardrooms. On the one hand, technology makes our lives more exciting and richer. At the same time, it can create economic disparities the world has never seen before. Technology companies are developing increasingly advanced forms of artificial intelligence that can solve key tasks, but also threaten our freedom more fundamentally than ever before in history.
Hilde Nagell shows how it is possible to return control to the people and to democracy. She has spoken with politicians, philosophers, trade unionists and technologists, and ultimately proposes a Nordic model for digitalisation and data sharing. It is fundamental that data should be viewed as a collective good.

Lo spirito di questo tempo alberga in una tendenza: è la centralizzazione del capitale, un moto inarrestabile che sta concentrando tutto il potere nelle mani di pochi giganti. L'ecologia, la scienza, la politica internazionale sono ormai catturate dall'esocapitale, la "materia oscura" dell'odierno capitalismo centralizzato. Una forza che sfrutta in modi sempre più sofisticati il lavoro e la natura e, al contempo, genera sprechi e inefficienze, trasforma gli individui in capitali umani isolati, consuma dall'interno le istituzioni della democrazia liberale e prepara il terreno a una nuova minaccia: un oltrefascismo transnazionale, in cui la libertà del capitale è destinata a divorare tutte le altre libertà. Contro questo scenario, Libercomunismo apre a una prospettiva inedita: la grande tendenza va affrontata sfidando il più grande tabù politico moderno. Pianificazione collettiva e libertà individuale, finora contrapposte, vanno intese come poli di un unico obiettivo: una lunga lotta per espropriare il grande capitale, democratizzare il controllo delle forze produttive e, al tempo stesso, liberare le energie creative dei singoli individui. Un esercizio scientifico che sfida le ideologie dominanti e invita a concepire una politica all'altezza di questo tempo catastrofico.

As life expectancy continues to rise and birthrates decline, nations around the world face unprecedented challenges in caring for aging populations. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of long-term care insurance systems—both public and private—and the evolving landscape of eldercare services across diverse countries.
Driven by three critical factors—the growing number of elderly individuals requiring intensive care, the need to eliminate "social hospitalization," and the escalating costs of medical care for seniors—governments have been compelled to rethink and restructure their approaches to long-term care.&nbsp;First, the rapid increase in average life expectancy has led to an increase in the number of bedridden elderly and those suffering from dementia, and the need for and importance of long-term care has grown.&nbsp;Second, it was necessary to eliminate "social hospitalization”. Social hospitalization refers to a condition in which a patient is not in need of medical care but remains hospitalized in a medical institution for compelling reasons such as family circumstances. Third, medical costs for the elderly were increasing rapidly. It was necessary to control the increase in medical costs by separating medical care from long-term care.
Through comparative research and policy analysis, this book clarifies the distinct roles of public and private insurance models and offers actionable recommendations for sustainable and equitable care in aging societies. It is an essential resource for policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and anyone invested in the future of social welfare and eldercare.

This book offers a new governance framework for understanding how countries with limited institutional capacity can pursue economic catch-up in the digital age. This book introduces the concept of the Developmental Network State (DNS) to explain how learning, coordination, and embeddedness enable capability development under conditions of constraint. Focusing on transitional economies in Southeast Europe, it examines how fragmented institutions, donor dependence, and political volatility shape technological upgrading and industrial transformation.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork, stakeholder interviews, and comparative analysis, the book explores digital entrepreneurship, agri-food upgrading, and integration into automotive supply chains in low-capacity environments. It highlights themes such as governance as a meta-capability, industrial policy under digital disruption, and the role of diasporas and donors in shaping development trajectories. This interdisciplinary study will appeal to researchers, graduate students, policy advisors, and development practitioners interested in industrial policy, innovation systems, and governance reform in latecomer economies.
