Mainstream economics was founded on many strong assumptions. Institutions and politics were treated as irrelevant, government as exogenous, social norms as epiphenomena. As an initial gambit this was fine. But as the horizons of economic inquiry have broadened, these assumptions have becomehindrances rather than aids. 2003 Level: mittel Prelude to Political Economy Kaushik Basu Oxford University Press Commons stand for a plurality of practices ‘beyond market and state’ as the famous Commons scholar – and first female noble prize winner of economics - Elinor Ostrom put it. Their practice and theory challenge classical economic theory and stand for a different mode of caring, producing and governing. Within this workshop we want to dive into theory, practice and utopia of Commons following four blocks... 2022 Level: leicht The Future of Commons Friederike Habermann & Simon Sutterlütti, Summer Academy 2022 for Pluralist Economics What determines the status of women in different communities? What role is played by women’s labor (inside and outside of the home)? By cultural norms regarding sexuality and reproduction? By racial/ethnic identity? By religious traditions?

Level: mittel Women and Work Yana Rodgers Rutgers University - School of Management and Labor Relations Over the last decade, the world's largest corporations - from The Coca Cola Company to Amazon, Apple to Unilever - have taken up the cause of combatting modern slavery. Yet, by most measures, across many sectors and regions, severe labour exploitation continues to soar. Corporate social responsibility is not working. Why? 2020 Level: leicht Combatting Modern Slavery Genevieve LeBaron Polity Press How can we establish new institutions and practices in order to use fare-free public transport as a beacon for sustainable mobility and a low-carbon lifestyle? The author of this essay elaborates on how practice theory and institutional economics can help to answer this question. 2018 Level: mittel Towards a practice of fare-free sustainability Roxana Erath Exploring Economics This book is an original, systematic, and radical attempt at decolonizing critical theory. Drawing on linguistic concepts from 16 languages from Asia, Africa, the Arab world, and South America, the essays in the volume explore the entailments of words while discussing their conceptual implications for the humanities and the social sciences everywhere. 2022 Level: leicht Changing Theory Dilip M. Menon Routledge Gender Development and Globalization is the leading primer on global feminist economics and development. Gender is a development issue because social considerations are not easily incorporated into institutions such as policies, regulations, markets and organizations. This process is often referred to as the mainstreaming of gender in development institutions. 2018 Level: leicht Gender Development and Globalization Terryl Blackwell ETP Die Evolutionäre und Institutionelle Ökonomie ist ein ökonomisches Paradigma, in welchem sozialer und ökonomischer Wandel eine zentrale Bedeutung einnehmen. In dieser heterodoxen Rolle außerhalb des wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Mainstreams sehen einige die Evolutionsökonomie als eine Teildisziplin der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, die sich mit dynamischen Aspekten wirtschaftlichen Austausches befasst; für andere stellt sie eine Revolution wirtschaftstheoretischen Denkens dar. (vgl. Berendt/Glückler: 13 f.) Die Institutionelle Ökonomie zeigt Erklärungsansätze für wirtschaftliche Prozesse auf und betont, dass diese nicht ausschließlich durch „individuelles Rationalverhalten“ geprägt werden. Die Notwendigkeit von Institutionen wird betont, da ein individuelles, rationales Verhalten zu einer negativen Beeinflussung der Gemeinschaft führen kann und somit die Lösung über Institutionen erfolgen muss. (vgl. Nee, 2005: 49 ff) 2022 Level: leicht Evolutionäre und institutionelle Ökonomie Hochmayr, Luger, Eisner Exploring Economics This book looks at the anti-capitalist economy and the organization of social relations in the context of the revolution and autonomy of Rojava (Kurdistan-Syria). 2023 Level: leicht Anticapitalist Economy in Rojava Azize Aslan Daraja Press This brief note explores the possibility of working towards an enlarged self-definition of economics through economists’ study and appreciation of economic sociology. Common ground between economic sociology and heterodox economics is explored, and some of Richard Sennett’s ideas are used as prompts to raise some pertinent and hopefully interesting questions about economics. In particular, the note revisits the question of whether there is a possibility of changing our understanding of what kind of social scientific work falls within the domain of economics proper once we start critically engaging with work conventionally considered to be outside of that domain. In part, the note is intended to offer undergraduate students in economics – and possibly even those further down the road in their education – food for thought about what constitutes economics. 2016 Level: mittel On the Possibility of an Enlarged Self-Definition of Economics Daniyal Khan New School for Social Research, Department of Economics Economists like to base their theories on individual decision making. Individuals, the idea goes, have their own interests and preferences, and if we don’t include these in our theory we can’t be sure how people will react to changes in their economic circumstances and policy. While there may be social influences, in an important sense the buck stops with individuals. Understanding how individuals process information to come to decisions about their health, wealth and happiness is crucial. You can count me as someone who thinks that on the whole, this is quite a sensible view. 2020 Level: leicht Decision by Sampling, or ‘Psychologists Reclaim Their Turf’ Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics This paper surveys the development of the concept of socialism from the French Revolution to the socialist calculation debate. Karl Marx’s politics of revolutionary socialism led by an empowered proletariat nurtured by capital accumulation envisions socialism as a “top-down” system resting on political institutions, despite Marx’s keen appreciation of the long-period analysis of the organization of social production in the classical political economists. Collectivist thinking in the work of Enrico Barone and Wilfredo Pareto paved the way for the discussion of socialism purely in terms of the allocation of resources. The Soviet experiment abandoned the mixed economy model of the New Economic Policy for a political-bureaucratic administration of production only loosely connected to theoretical concepts of socialism. The socialist calculation debate reductively recast the problem of socialism as a problem of allocation of resources, leading to general equilibrium theory. Friedrich Hayek responded to the socialist calculation debate by shifting the ground of discussion from class relations to information revelation 2017 Level: leicht Socialist alternatives to capitalism I: Marx to Hayek Duncan Foley New School for Social Research, Department of Economics The Nobel laureate Amartya Sen´s text analyzes three main figures in social sciences and the relation between them: the Italian economist Piero Sraffa, the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, and the Italian politician and philosopher Antonio Gramsci. 2003 Level: mittel Sraffa, Wittgenstein, and Gramsci Amartya Sen Journal of Economic Literature "Alexander Kravchuk is an economist and editor at Commons: Journal for Social Criticims, who has previously written about IMF conditions on loans to Ukraine. Jacobin’s David Broder asked him about the country’s economic situation and why debt cancellation is important if Ukrainians are to be able to shape their future." (quote from the interview) 2022 Level: leicht To Help Ukraine, Cancel Its Foreign Debt Alexander Kravchuk, David Broder Commons: Journal for Social Criticism Traditionally, economists have attributed consistency and rational calculation to the action of ‘economic man’. In a powerful challenge to orthodox thinking, Geoffrey Hodgson maintains that social institutions play a central and essential role in molding preferences and guiding action: institutions are regarded as enabling action rather than merely providing constraints. 1991 Level: mittel Economics and Institutions Geoffrey M. Hodgson Wiley This course teaches basic concepts relevant in political economy. Topics include the contractual nature of the state, public versus private goods, property rights and economic externalities, the logic of collective action and social choice theory. It also refers to the fundamentals of political philosophy, bringing two ideas of liberty into the picture. The relevance and limitations of the economic approach to the study of law and politics are then discussed. Level: mittel State, Law and the Economy Prof. Y.C. Richard Wong n.a.

Tony Lawson has become a major figure of intellectual controversy on the back of juxtaposing two relatively simple and seemingly innocuous ideas. He has argued firstly that success in science depends on finding and using methods, including modes of reasoning, appropriate to the nature of the phenomena being studied, and also that there are important differences between the nature of the objects of study of natural sciences and those of social science. 2009 Level: mittel Ontology and Economics Edward Fullbrook Routledge "The Company of Strangers: A Natural History of Economic Life" by Paul Seabright is an engaging and informative book that explores the complex relationship between economic behavior and human instincts. Seabright uses real-world examples to present complex ideas in a clear and accessible way. The author argues that the market is not only a place for exchanging goods and services but also relies on trust, cooperation, and social norms. 2010 Level: leicht The Company of Strangers Paul Seabright Princeton University Press This brief but comprehensive account of the Post Keynesian approach to economic theory and policy is ideal for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in economics, public policy and other social sciences. Clear, non-technical and with a strong policy focus, it will also appeal to all of those who are dissatisfied with mainstream economics and wish to explore the alternatives. 2015 Level: mittel Advanced Introduction to Post Keynesian Economics John Edward King Edward Elgar Publishing Rethinking Business is a volume of thought-provoking researches that sets out to challenge the paradigm of business along the areas of governance, finance, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability. 2014 Level: mittel Rethinking Business Raymund B. Habaradas and Denver Bingski D. Daradar De La Salle University (DLSU) Publishing House Free, Fair & Alive is a foundational re-thinking of the commons, the self-organized social systems that human beings have used for millennia to meet their needs. 2019 Level: mittel Free, Fair, and Alive David Bollier, Silke Helfrich New Society Publishers Der Beitrag skizziert kritische polit-ökonomische Bildung als eine umfassende herrschaftskritische Praxis mit dem Ziel der Aufhebung der gegenwärtigen Form gesellschaftlicher Reproduktion. 2024 Level: mittel Kritische Polit-ökonomische Bildung Malte Suhr Exploring Economics This course will expose students to some of the key debates that link digital transformations to economic, social, and political inequalities. Students will be familiarised with a variety of theoretical movements in development studies and internet studies: exploring thinking that frames the internet as a leveller that can bridge divides vs. exploring the internet as an infrastructure that amplifies existing inequalities. 2022 Level: schwer Digital Capitalism and its Inequalities Prof. Mark Graham https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/study/courses/digital-capitalism-and-its-inequalities-2/ Was ist Solidarische Ökonomie und welches Verständnis von Wirtschaft wird dabei unterstellt? Elisabeth Voß erläutert das Konzept der Solidarischen Ökonomie als ein Konzept des sozial-ökologischen Wirtschaftens und präsentiert weitere, sich teilweise überschneidende Ansätze wie social economy, Commons, Genossenschaften, Gemeinwohlökonomie sowie feministische Ansätzen. Da diese Konzepte eng mit der Praxis verwoben sind, stellt Voß in der zweiten Hälfte des Vortrages viele Beispiele aus den Feldern Arbeitsorganisation, Ernährung, Daseinsvorsorge, Technologie und Wohnen vor. 2014 Level: leicht Anders Wirtschaften: Sozial - ökologisch - demokratisch. Solidarische Ökonomie und andere alternative Ansätze Elisabeth Voß Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie In this interview, Daron Acemoğlu provides a definition of institutions as rules that govern how individuals interact and speaks about social, political and economic institutions. He furthermore presents his view on bad or good institutions and the importance of the latter. The video is part of a larger interview, where he elaborates his perspective on differing prosperities of states and the relation between growth and democracy. 2009 Level: leicht Institutional Economics - Rethinking the Wealth of Nations Daron Acemoğlu Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Stiglitz answers the question why globalization and world trade has not delivered on its promise of increased well being as much as classical economists thought, by pointing to the power asymmetries: firstly, between industrialized nations and developing nations and secondly, between special corporate interest and social interests. In his analysis, developed countries and MNCs were able to extract the benefits, while shifting the costs (i.e. pollution) to states and communities with lesser power. Amongst many other historical examples the pharmaceutical and the mining industry are discussed to some length. 2013 Level: leicht Stiglitz on globalization, why globalization fails? The trade agreements Joseph Stiglitz - Galbraith first explores the social darwinism of Herbert Spencer and others that served as apology for the highly unequal distribution of wealth in the US at the end of the 19th century and naturalized differences in wealth by appealing to the concept of natural selection of the fittest. Then some instances of the unscrupulous business practices (i.e. robberies) of the American railroad tycoons and other business magnates are recounted. Lastly, Galbraith lines out some of the arguments of Thorstein Veblen, who delegitimized and ridiculed the business and leisure activities of the rich by putting them in the same category as predatory and ritualized practices of primitive or ancient societies. Level: leicht The Age of Uncertainty Episode 2 - The Manners and Morals of High Capitalism John Kenneth Galbraith BBC, CBC, KCET and OECA The documentary proceeds along the lines of Karl Marx' biography, inquiring into his workings as a journalist, social scientist, revolutionary and historian and his travels through Europe. In chronological order historical events, such as the 1848 revolution or the Paris Commune as well as concepts such as dialectics, the labour theory of value or the reform-revolution debate are revisited. The documentary is narrated by John Kenneth Galbraith and by an actor, who plays Marx and recites quotes from his writings. 1977 Level: leicht The Age of Uncertainty Episode 3 Karl Marx The Massive Dissent John Kenneth Galbraith BBC, CBC, KCET and OECA First the emergence of the Austrian school is described regarding the historical context and other schools of thought that were presence at its inception. Emphasis is given to the methodological differences and disputes that members of the Austrian schools had with representatives of the German historical school. Then some defining theoretical and methodological features of the Austrian school are explained. Later, Friedrun Quaas gives an overview of the different generations of scholars associated with the school and their theories, research questions and concepts. Against the background of this knowledge the question as to whether the question as to whether the Austrian school is sufficiently homogenous to denote a consistent paradigm is discussed. At the end, some general, philosophy of science oriented, questions concerning pluralism in the social sciences are posed. 2015 Level: mittel Österreichische Schule - Prof.Friedrun Quaas @FU-Berlin Friedrun Quaas Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik Irene van Staveren, professor of pluralist development economics, presents her pluralist teaching method for the introductory level. Based on her textbook “Economics After the Crisis: An Introduction to Economics from a Pluralist and Global Perspective” she suggests to focus on real-world problems and pari passu apply economic theories such as Social economics, Institutional economics, Post-Keynesian economics as well as Neoclassical economics without wasting time to single out the latter. Besides pointing out advantages of such a pluralist method Irene illustrates her approach based on interesting topics such as growth or feminist economics. 2016 Level: leicht Beyond stimulus versus Austerity: Pluralist capacity building in Macroeconomics Irene van Staveren IMK
