Is our system capable of energy transition and climate protection? How plural is economic policy in practice and who makes the big decisions? What kind of change do we want?

Prof. Dr. Claudia Kemfert is an energy economist, advisor to the Federal Ministry for the Environment and Head of the Energy, Transport and Environment Department at the German Institute for Economic Research. She is also a spokesperson for Scientists for Future. In this lecture, she talks about her career and her studies in Energy and Climate Economics. She shares a personal experience with us and tells us why more female economists are needed in Economics. She also introduces her work on Economy-Climate-Biosphere (ECOBICE) an assessment model combining economic, climate, and biosphere models.

In this teaching pack, we take a look at satellite crop monitoring and how it is used for both real and financial economic activities. By looking at commodity futures, we give students a sense of what financialization can mean. In the active exercise students learn to discuss these matters and reflect upon them.

In this radio interview, Andrew Sayer first outlines some features of neoliberalism and policies that are associated with it. Then a difference between wealth creation via investment and wealth extraction by means of lending money to those deprived of it or by acquiring property such as real estate or financial assets on the secondary market as absentee owner is established. In this context reference is made to J.A. Hobson's concept of "improperty." Finally, there are some words on the power dynamics associated with capitalism and its relation to climate change.
