Zwei Hitzesommer und streikende Schüler und Schülerinnen haben die deutsche Politik verändert. Klimaschutz steht nun ganz oben auf der Tagesordnung. Die Zeit drängt: in historisch kurzer Frist von unter drei Jahrzehnten müssen die Emissionen auf null gesenkt werden. Energieversorgung, Mobilität, Wohnen, Landwirtschaft und Industrie sind umzubauen. Enorme Investitionen sind für diese Transformation notwendig. Und wenn wir beim Klimaschutz scheitern, drohen noch weit größere Schäden, auch wirtschaftlich.
Welche Rolle können Zentralbanken, staatliche Banken wie KfW und EIB und private Finanzwirtschaft spielen, um den anstehenden Umbau voranzubringen? Müssen Zentralbanken eingreifen, wenn Politik versagt?
Dazu diskutieren Adam Tooze (Columbia University), Jakob von Weizsäcker (BMF) und Sabine Mauderer (Bundesbank).

In this lecture Ben Fine aims at stimulating interest for and explaining the relevance of Marxist Political Economy. Ben Fine dedicates the first half of his comprehensible lecture to the question on how mainstream economics became the way it is by explaining its key concepts and how those evolved during the past 150 years. While critically reflecting those concept he also emphasizes that mainstream economics does not consider historical processes. This is the point of departure on his presentation of the core terms and crucial categories of Marxist Political Economy: e.g. the production process and class relations (Part 1). Part 2 examines the consequences of the capitalist mode of production and its propensity to crises. Ben Fine illustrates this Marxist analysis with the example of the current crisis and explains current conditions for the accumulation of capital. 2014 Level: beginner Introduction to Marxist Economics (Part 2) Ben Fine Post-Crash Economics Society Firms are the primary places where economic activity takes place in modern capitalist economies: they are where most stuff is produced; where many of us spend 40 hours a week; and where big decisions are made about how to allocate resources. Establishing how they work is hugely important because it helps us to understand patterns of production and consumption, including how firms will react to changes in economic conditions and policy. And a well-established literature – led by post-Keynesians and institutionalists – holds that the best way to determine how firms work is to…wait for it...ask firms how they work. This a clearly sensible proposition that is contested in economics for some reason, but we’ll ignore the controversy here and just explore the theory that springs from this approach. 2020 Level: beginner The ‘How Firms Work’ Approach to How Firms Work Cahal Moran Rethinking Economics Um der Klimakrise zu begegnen, müssen wir unsere Art zu wirtschaften radikal verändern. Ein großes Hindernis auf diesem Weg könnte die vorherrschende ökonomische Theorie sein. Denn der neoklassischen Wirtschaftswissenschaft ist es methodisch unmöglich, alternative Wirtschaftsformen abzubilden. Außerdem führt sie zu Politikempfehlungen, die systematisch die Möglichkeit einer Postwachstumswirtschaft ausblenden. 2019 Level: beginner Die blinden Flecken der neoklassischen Klimaökonomik Lia Polotzek & Joachim Spangenberg Economists for Future Human Rights Economics strives for an economic system that is just for people and respectful of the planet, that promotes social and economic justice, that integrates a plurality of views and traditions and that is human rights-consistent in both its processes and outcomes. It posits that economics is blind with … 2022 Level: beginner What is Human Rights Economics? Caroline Dommen www.humanrightseconomics.ch
