Degrowth, post-growth, well-being or steady-state economy? The goal is to rethink a new paradigm that puts society and the environment at the core. "Enough" instead of infinite growth. 2014 Level: beginner The Economics of Enough Dan O'Neil TedX Recovery from the Covid-19 crisis provides a chance to implement economic measures that are also beneficial from environmental and social perspectives. While ‘green’ recovery packages are crucial to support economies tracking a low-carbon transition in the short-term, green measures such as carbon pricing are also key to improving welfare in the long-term. This commentary specifies the need for carbon pricing, outlines its implications for our everyday lives, and explains how it works alongside value-based change in the context of climate action and societal well-being. 2021 Level: beginner Carbon Pricing: The Key to Open the Way Toward a Sustainable Recovery and Long-Term Wellbeing Stefano Vrizzi, Jessica Geraghty, Matilda Saarinen, Beatrice Noun, Olivia de Vesci, Philippine Levy Exploring Economics Zunächst motiviert Steffen Lange für eine sozial-ökologische Transformation hin zu einer Postwachstumsökonomie und erläutert, was darunter verstanden werden kann. Anschließend stellt er die Fragen, was die makroökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen für solch eine Ökonomie sein müssten. Dafür präsentiert Steffen Lange Rahmenbedingungen und Schlussfolgerungen, die sich aus verschiedenen ökonomischen Theorieschulen ableiten lassen. Hierbie … 2016 Level: advanced Makroökonomische Rahmenbedingungen einer Postwachstumsökonomie Steffen Lange Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik In this short Video Silke Helfrich discusses the basics of commons. It’s an introduction into the essence of commons from a perspective stemming from outside the economic discipline that focuses on social practice. Her perception challenges the economic mainstream’s perception of common goods and goes beyond a purely materialistic conceptualisation of commons. 2014 Level: beginner The Basics of Commons Silke Helfrich Leuphana Digital School Le monde doit faire face à trois crises majeures : environnementale, inégalitaire et financière. Face aux limites de la macroéconomie classique négligeant largement ces trois enjeux pourtant cruciaux, l'Institut Veblen nous propose ici les bases d'une réflexion sur le renouveau des modèles macroéconomiques qui ne doivent plus ignorer les questions climatique, sociale et d'instabilité financière. Level: advanced Pour une macroéconomie écologique   @VeblenInstitute First, a definition of care work is given. Then the gendered and racialized issues and inequalities associated with care work as well as the work overload that results from the double burden of care and wage labour are explored. Lastly, a policy proposal which counters the dynamics and the culture of capitalist (re)production, grounded in the concept of solidarity, is developed. 2015 Level: beginner »Care Revolution« - Gabriele Winker über Schritte in eine solidarische Gesellschaft Gabriele Winker Transcript Verlag
