Arguing that with the current high levels of confidence in politicians and scientific advice, combined with the realisation that the market has not been able to solve this problem on its own, we are now in a unique position to implement a radically different solution than was politically possible previously. 2020 Level: leicht A Social-Green Deal, with just transition—the European answer to the coronavirus crisis Maja Göpel Social Europe In this essay, Professor Robert Pollin explores the short falls of the degrowth perspective in handling the impending environmental collapse as well as elaborates on the efficacies of a green new deal. 2018 Level: mittel De-Growth vs a Green New Deal Robert Pollin New Left Review This paper investigates how the concept of public purpose is used in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). As a common denominator among political scientists, the idea of public purpose is that economic actions should aim at benefiting the majority of the society. However, the concept is to be considered as an ideal of a vague nature, which is highly dependent on societal context and, hence, subject to change over time. MMT stresses that government spending plans should be designed to pursue a certain socio-economic mandate and not to meet any particular financial outcome. The concept of public purpose is heavily used in this theoretical body of thought and often referred to in the context of policy proposals as the ideas of universal job guarantee and banking reform proposals show. MMT scholars use the concept as a pragmatic benchmark against which policies can be assessed. With regards to the definition of public propose, MMT scholars agree that it is dependent on the social-cultural context. Nevertheless, MMT scholars view universal access to material means of survival as universally applicable and in that sense as the lowest possible common denominator. 2020 Level: mittel Modern Monetary Theory and the public purpose Dirk H.

Ecological economics is an ecological critique of economics, applying the energetics of life to the study of the economy.

Breite Unterstützung genießen „grüne“ Technologien, von ihnen wird die Trendwende zu einem nachhaltigen Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen erwartet.

Frank Adler, Ulrich Schachtschneider Oekom The idea of a Green New Deal was launched into popular consciousness by US Congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2018.
