The effects of the 2020 pandemic on the Latin-American region: a thorough before-after analysis. 2020 Level: leicht COVID-19 and Economic Development in Latin America SOAS Open Economics Forum, SOAS Economics Department, Tobias Franz SOAS University of London In aufgeheizten Zeiten mit noch aufgeheizteren Debatten lohnt es sich manchmal, einen Schritt zurückzutreten, um die Dinge grundsätzlich zu betrachten und nüchtern zu analysieren. Wenn man das bei dem seit November andauernden Streit über die Haushaltspolitik der Bundesregierung tut, kommt man zu einigen spannenden Erkenntnissen, erklären Jonas Plattner und Chiara Rohlfs in der Agora42 Kolumne. 2024 Level: leicht Gestärkte Schuldenbremse? Jonas Plattner und Chiara Rohlfs Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik In this lecture Ben Fine aims at stimulating interest for and explaining the relevance of Marxist Political Economy. Ben Fine dedicates the first half of his comprehensible lecture to the question on how mainstream economics became the way it is by explaining its key concepts and how those evolved during the past 150 years. While critically reflecting those concept he also emphasizes that mainstream economics does not consider historical processes. This is the point of departure on his presentation of the core terms and crucial categories of Marxist Political Economy: e.g. the production process and class relations (Part 1). Part 2 examines the consequences of the capitalist mode of production and its propensity to crises. Ben Fine illustrates this Marxist analysis with the example of the current crisis and explains current conditions for the accumulation of capital. 2014 Level: leicht Introduction to Marxist Economics (Part 1) Ben Fine Post-Crash Economics Society Lecture on the paper "The Economic Limits of Bitcoin and Anonymous, Decentralized Trust on the Blockchain" 2022 Level: leicht The Economics of Cryptocurrencies Eric Budish Economics Department, Oxford University
