This book analyzes the transition of chocolate from an exotic curiosity to an Atlantic commodity. It shows how local, inter-regional, and Atlantic markets interacted with one another and with imperial political economies. It explains how these interactions, intertwined with the resilience of local artisanal production, promoted the partial democratization of chocolate consumption as well as economic growth.

Value Chains
In diesem klug auf Fakten aufgebauten Buch zeigt Vandana Shiva, wie eine kleine Gruppe superreicher Einzelpersonen, Stiftungen und Investmentfirmen die Kontrolle über unsere Lebensmittelversorgung, unser Informationssystem, unser Gesundheitswesen und unsere Demokratien immer weiter ausbaut. Die Autorin macht sehr deutlich, dass unser Überleben von der Vielfalt unseres Saatgutes und dass unsere Demokratien von einer aufgeklärten Öffentlichkeit abhängen. Es ist ein sehr leidenschaftlicher, weiblicher wissenschaftlicher Diskurs, der eine globale Leserschaft verdient.

Eine Erde für alle! - Einssein versus das 1 %
Dass die momentane Krise der Finanzmärkte auch eine Krise der Wirtschaftswissenschaften sei, liest man derzeit immer wieder. Der Marktliberalismus und seine Theorie der "effizienten Märkte" seien gescheitert, es gebe in der ökonomischen Ortho doxie kein Instrumentarium, um "wilde Märkte" zu verstehen die offenkundig Realität sind.

Instabilität und Kapitalismus
Surviving the Future is a story drawn from the fertile ground of the late David Fleming's extraordinary 'Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It'. That hardback consists of four hundred and four interlinked dictionary entries, inviting readers to choose their own path through its radical vision. Recognizing that Lean Logic's sheer size and unusual structure can be daunting, Fleming's long-time collaborator Shaun Chamberlin has selected and edited one of these potential narratives to create Surviving the Future. The content, rare insights, and uniquely enjoyable writing style remain Fleming's, but are presented here at a more accessible paperback-length and in conventional read-it-front-to-back format

Die Ökonomik hat damit den Status einer gesellschaftlichen Leitwissenschaft errungen. Das vorliegende Buch beschreibt und kritisiert die Transformation der Ökonomik in eine Wissenschaft von „dem Markt“ (in der Einzahl).

Beyond Equilibrium and Efficiency

In the graveyard of economic ideology, dead ideas still stalk the land.

The recent financial crisis laid bare many of the assumptions behind market liberalism—the theory that market-based solutions are always best, regardless of the problem. For decades, their advocates dominated mainstream economics, and their influence created a system where an unthinking faith in markets led many to view speculative investments as fundamentally safe.

Zombie Economics
‚Markt‘ ist einer der wichtigsten Begriffe der Ökonomik. Die meisten bezeichnen das Wirtschaftssystem als ‚Marktwirtschaft‘ oder als ‚soziale Marktwirtschaft‘. Markt ist aber ein vieldeutiger und kaum erforschter Begriff, weder was seine Theoriegeschichte noch seine institutionelle Ausgestaltung oder die Wirkungen des Gebrauchs von „dem“ Markt (im Sinne eines agierenden Subjekts) angeht.

Stabilizing an Unstable Economy

Financial Theory
In a capitalist system, consumers, investors, and corporations orient their activities toward a future that contains opportunities and risks. How actors assess uncertainty is a problem that economists have tried to solve through general equilibrium and rational expectations theory. Powerful as these analytical tools are, they underestimate the future's unknowability by assuming that markets, in the aggregate, correctly forecast what is to come.
