The Graz Schumpeter Lectures

The Incredible Complexity of the Social Sciences

What goals are still feasible for the politics of emancipation on a ruined planet? This is where we are. Today's techno-oligarchs are not concerned with saving the planet; rather, they have accepted the end of progress and are focused on safeguarding their wealth in the face of an impending political and ecological collapse. Artificial intelligence and algorithms make decisions for us. Climate breakdown has long steamed past the wreckage of the Paris Agreement. Perhaps the accelerationists have the right idea. Accelerationism - which aims to resolve the current crisis through the intensification of technological development - is the only philosophy not clinging to the now-extinct idea of progress. The idea has gained ground on both the left and right: but the right-wing is shot through with misanthropy, while the left remains entangled in a faith in technological progress and the domination of nature. Transcending capitalism at the end of progress requires a synthesis of the two. The result of this synthesis: Dark Socialism. From 'rock star philosopher' Kohei Saito comes an anticapitalist clarion call for our breakneck times, channeling despair into a socialist project equal to the end of progress.

Hope in a Ruined World

Dark Socialism

Why the consequences of a prolonged period of weaker economic growth will be more profound than anyone dares to predictIn the heady progress of the post-war era, our lifestyles changed, our political systems adapted, and rapid economic growth became the model of every developed economy. But this prevailing consensus is falling apart around us. Growth is now, at best, no more than anaemic. Policymakers dream about an AI revolution and tweak their fiscal rules to accommodate a newly-austere economic reality but, all the while, government debt soars, financial markets become increasingly jittery, and voters lose trust in their politicians.Celebrated economist Stephen D. King asks how our politics will adapt to such persistently low growth. While leaders make fiscal promises based on a future that is unlikely to materialise, nationalism thrives, battlelines are drawn between perceived winners and losers, and the rules-based international order crumbles. The absence of growth triggers invidious political wrangling over tax, welfare, defence and infrastructure, intensifies competition for resources, and leads to social instability.King shows how our new world is governed by them-and-us divisions over limited economic spoils. This is the political economy of plunder.&nbsp;

Winners and Losers in the Low Growth Era

The Age of Plunder

Noch nie gab es so viel Reichtum - und das ist ein Problem für uns alle!In kaum einem anderen westlichen Land ist Vermögen so ungleich verteilt wie bei uns - und die Schere geht immer weiter auf. Dieses Buch zeigt das schockierende Ausmaß der Ungleichheit in Deutschland. Dass die Vermögen der Reichen von Generation zu Generation immer weiter wachsen, während jeder Sechste in Armut lebt, ist gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Martyna Linartas zeigt, dass es von unserem politischen Willen abhängt, daran etwas zu ändern, und wie eine gerechte Lösung aussehen könnte.In dieser hellsichtigen und fundierten Analyse wird das politische Tabuthema unserer Zeit seziert: Dass wir die Reichen nicht besteuern, gefährdet unseren Wohlstand, unsere Umwelt und unsere Demokratie. Aber es geht auch anders - wenn wir nur wollen! Anhand von exklusiven Interviews mit der mächtigen Wirtschaftselite über Ungleichheit und das Zusammenspiel von Wirtschaft und Politik sowie einer einmaligen historischen Analyse zeigt sich, wie eine Besteuerung von Überreichen funktionieren kann. Dieses Buch gibt uns alle Argumente an die Hand, um jetzt zu handeln.'Ganz wenige haben zu viel. Zu viele haben ganz wenig. Dieses Buch verdeutlicht dies grandios und zeigt die Auswege aus dem Wahnsinn auf.' - Tilo Jung

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

How Private Equity Turned Capitalism Against Itself

The Asset Class

The award-winning author of The Entrepreneurial State and Mission Economy offers a scathing indictment of a global financial system that incentivizes taking over making and extraction over creation "A stimulating analysis of the underlying causes of inequality and growth which forces us to confront long-held beliefs about how economies work and who benefits." -Martin Wolf, Financial Times The Value of Everything is a penetrating and passionate argument that modern capitalism has failed to clearly delineate between value creation and value extraction. As economist Mariana Mazzucato shows, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street and beyond, foggy notions of value create confusion between rents and profits, reward extractors rather than creators, and distort the measurements of growth and GDP. Asset management companies profit exorbitantly off of income generated elsewhere; big pharma uses value-based pricing to justify astronomically high prices for vital medicines that are publicly funded. In the process, innovation suffers and inequality widens. Now updated with a new preface, The Value of Everything reignites the debate over how we measure value in our society-and in so doing, shows how we can shape our economy to be more innovative and inclusive.

Making and Taking in the Global Economy

The Value of Everything

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic futureIn a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; grocer Anthony Pena, who turned his frustrations with big box stores into a new grocers movement; and Doha Mekki, a Sudanese immigrant who developed the first successful criminal wage-fixing case for the Department of Justice; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism. Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

World Economies

For most of the postwar period South Africa has been the largest economy in Africa, with relatively high levels of industrialization, a modern banking and financial sector and a globally significant mining industry. However, today discussion of its economy is dominated by its widespread poverty, high unemployment and extreme inequality - inequality which still exhibits strong racial lines despite the emergence of a new black elite and middle class. Indeed, amongst the countries with reliable measures, South Africa ranks as the most unequal country in the world. Sam Ashman provides a penetrating and insightful survey of South Africa's postwar economic history, in particular its economic development since 1994, when the African National Congress came to office and universal adult suffrage was finally introduced. The book examines both the legacy of the apartheid era political economy, as well as the impact of financial and trade liberalization since the 1990s, and the privatization and corporate restructuring that have, if anything, deepened the structural economic challenges the country now faces. Key features of the economy are examined in turn, including the continuing importance of mining and the export of primary commodities; the liberalization and financialization of the economy and the deindustrialization arising from that; the dominance of oligopolies in major sectors; and the ongoing crises of poverty, unemployment and rising inequality.

An economic history of postwar South Africa, with particular focus on the modern post-apartheid period.
