Macroeconomics 101 by the Pan African Feminist Political Economy Collective NAWI explains in a simple and accessible way, why macroeconomics matters. The booklet starts from the perspective of an African woman buying garlic on the market and explains from this perspective, how macroeconomics affects daily life. In doing so, the booklet looks at the impact of structural adjustment programmes and neo-liberalism.

Comment from our editors:

Macroeconomics 101 explains in accessible language why macroeconomics matters in everyday life, how it relates to women's rights issues and adresses the impact of structural adjustment programmes. Using everyday examples such as the price of garlic or the cost of basic health care, the booklet connects abstract concepts to everyday experiences.

In this talk, key speakers in economics, economic history and banking try to make this complex system a little more understandable by relying on real-world insights. 2016 Level: mittel Global Money: Past, Present, Future Perry Mehrling, Adam Tooze, Patricia Mosser, Phil Prince and Katharina Pistor (moderator) Columbia Global Thought The principle of effective demand, and the claim of its validity for a monetary production economy in the short and in the long run, is the core of heterodox macroeconomics, as currently found in all the different strands of post-Keynesian economics (Fundamentalists, Kaleckians, Sraffians, Kaldorians, Institutionalists) and also in some strands of neo-Marxian economics, particularly in the monopoly capitalism and underconsumptionist school In this contribution, we will therefore outline the foundations of the principle of effective demand and its relationship with the respective notion of a capitalist or a monetary production economy in the works of Marx, Kalecki and Keynes. Then we will deal with heterodox short-run macroeconomics and it will provide a simple short-run model which is built on the principle of effective demand, as well as on distribution conflict between different social groups (or classes): rentiers, managers and workers. Finally, we will move to the long run and we will review the integration of the principle of effective demand into heterodox/post-Keynesian approaches towards distribution and growth. 2015 Level: mittel The principle of effective demand: Marx, Kalecki, Keynes and beyond Eckhard Hein Institute for International Political Economy Berlin Donald Trump won in 2016 largely because enough voters in three states, all in the Rustbelt, which had voted for Barack Obama in both 2008 and 2012, switched their electoral votes from Democratic to Republican. 2019 Level: leicht The Rise of Trumpism John Komlos Duke University’s John Hope Franklin Center
