Comment from our editor team:

Highly informative for anyone interested in the social construction of knowledge and how that plays out in economics. Also presents an example of highly interdisciplinary work that Roger Koppl is engaged in.

Quinn Slobodian a historian of modern Germany and international history analysis of current development in the Mont Pèlerin Society and therefore neo-liberalism. He sees neo-liberalist thinkers less as believers in the self-healing power of markets, but more as ordo-liberal Globalists who wanted to protect the markets from post-war politics and especially mass democracy. Their goal of global capitalism is still strong, however sceptics in the Mont Pèlerin Society are rising, which see international migration as a threat to Globalisation. Therefore, turning neo-liberal policies away from international institutions like the EU back towards the national states as new defenders of the markets as well as international trade and investments. (A development which can be seen in the Friedrich A. von Hayek-Gesellschaft and especially in the "liberal" wing of the German rightwing populist party AfD) 2019 Level: mittel Neo-liberal Globalism and the Backlash from Within Quinn Slobodian OXI - Wirtschaft anders denken Ein reines Monopol (Mono - griech. monos = „allein“, „einzig“; Pol - polein = „verkaufen“) liegt immer dann vor, wenn viele Nachfrager (z.B. private Haushalte) genau nur einen einzigen Anbieter (z.B. Unternehmen) eines bestimmten Gutes bzw. einer bestimmten Leistung zur Auswahl haben, ohne Wahl auf ein Substitut (Ersetzung des Gutes bzw. der Leistung mit einer anderen). 2021 Level: leicht Reines Monopol   Wiwiwiki Die Zeit ist reif für eine Rückbesinnung auf das Potenzial der Vermögensbesteuerung. Doch wie genau sollten Vermögensteuer und Erbschaftsteuer ausgestaltet werden? 2021 Level: leicht Vermögensbesteuerung – unverzichtbar für eine gerechte Zukunftsgestaltung Ralf Krämer und Yannick Schwarz Economist for Future How countries achieve long-term GDP growth is up there with the most important topics in economics. As Nobel Laureate Robert Lucas put it “the consequences for human welfare involved in questions like these are simply staggering: once one starts to think about them, it is hard to think about anything else.” Ricardo Hausmann et al take a refreshing approach to this question in their Atlas of Economic Complexity. They argue a country’s growth depends on the complexity of its economy: it must have a diverse economy which produces a wide variety of products, including ones that cannot be produced much elsewhere. The Atlas goes into detail on exactly what complexity means, how it fits the data, and what this implies for development. Below I will offer a summary of their arguments, including some cool data visualisations. 2020 Level: leicht GDP Growth: It’s Complicated Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics
