"The Atlas of Economic Complexity is an award-winning data visualization tool that allows people to explore global trade flows across markets, track these dynamics over time and discover new growth opportunities for every country. Built at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, The Atlas is powered by Harvard’s Growth Lab’s research and is the flagship tool of The Viz Hub, the Growth Lab’s portfolio of visualization tools.

The Atlas places the industrial capabilities and know-how of a country at the heart of its growth prospects, where the diversity and complexity of existing capabilities heavily influence how growth happens. The tool combines trade data with synthesized insights from the Growth Lab’s research in a way that is accessible and interactive. As a dynamic resource, the tool is continually evolving with new data and features to help answer questions such as:

What does a country import and export? How has its trade evolved over time? What are the drivers of export growth? Which new industries are likely to emerge in a given geography? Which are likely to disappear? What are the GDP growth prospects of a given country in the next 5-10 years, based on its productive capabilities?

The original online Atlas was launched in 2013 as a companion tool to the book, The Atlas of Economic Complexity: Mapping paths to Prosperity. The Atlas is used worldwide by policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, academics and the general public as an important resource for understanding a country’s economic structure."

Comment from our editors:

The Atlas of Economic Complexity is a superb resource for self-learners who want to understand the structural features of economies. The easy-to-handle and intuitive  interface allows the resource to be used by people who do not have a specialized expertise in data analysis. Furthermore, the visualizations that can be produced with it, have great potential for teaching economics as well as related fields such as political economy or economic sociology, both to students/academic audiences and non-academic audiences/the general public. It is definitively worthwhile to check it out and invest some time in exploratory browsing!

In diesem Video spricht die Journalistin Ulrike Hermann vom Anfang und Ende des Kapitalismus. Zunächst erläutert Hermann, was unter Kapitalismus und Kapital verstanden werden kann. Anschließend grenzt sie Kapitalismus vom Begriff Marktwirtschaft ab. Neben Errungenschaften des Kapitalismus nennt sie insbesondere dessen Krisenhaftigkeit und folgende Gefährdungen für die Demokratie als Gründe, warum über eine Transformation zu einer post-kapitalistischen Wirtschaftsordnung nachgedacht werden muss. Der Vortrag endet bei Minute 54. 2015 Level: débutant Anfang und Ende des Kapitalismus Ulrike Herrmann medienwerkstatt La crisis del modelo de desarrollo ha dado una nueva vigencia a organizaciones que no pertenecen ni al sector privado tradicional ni al sector público. Estas organizaciones reciben diferentes apelaciones, tercer sector, economía solidaria, economía social, economía popular, organizaciones de desarrollo social, etc. Este trabajo se propone analizar los contextos de utilización de algunos de estos términos que designan las actividades que escapan a la lógica capitalista y a la lógica de la administración pública. La nueva constitución venezolana de 2000 incluye en su artículo 184 un término nuevo en el país, el de economía social. Se trata de un término que data del siglo XIX, cuando era utilizado sobre todo en el mundo francófono. La crisis del modelo de desarrollo fordista ha llevado a su reactualización a partir de los años 1980. Las definiciones que tiene varían según los países. Este trabajo tiene como propósito precisar el significado de este término, y de otros que le son afines. Luego, se definen algunos criterios para la delimitación de un sector de economía social en Venezuela. 2001 Level: avancé Economía social y economía solidaria: Intento de definición Oscar Bastidas Delgado, Madeleine Richer Sistema de Información Científica Redalyc: Red de Revistas Científicas In this overview paper, Laura Porak reviews the history of industrial policy in the European Union before the background of a Cultural Political Economy approach. 2023 Level: débutant History of Industrial Policy in the EU Laura Porak Exploring Economics This article outlines the fundamental challenges of democratically planned economies and categorises proposed models into six groups, each of which approaches planning and coordination at different levels of authority and between myriad economic units in a particular way, taking into account efficiency as well as democratic principles and environmental and social sustainability. Through a classification system based on decision-making authority and mediation mechanisms, the article provides a framework for understanding and comparing these models. By examining their different approaches, it offers insights into the complexities and potential paths of democratically planned economies in the 21st century. 2024 Level: débutant Rethinking Democratic Economic Planning: An Overview Jakob Heyer Exploring Economics Die Klimapolitik der Bundesregierung reicht bisher nicht aus, um die katastrophalen Folgen der Klimakrise abzuwenden. Mit Blick auf die Bundestagswahl im September formulieren viele deutsche Parteien nun ehrgeizigere Ziele. Doch die Zeit drängt. 2021 Level: débutant Die Bundestagswahl als Klimawahl? Matthias Kranke und Svenja Quitsch Economist for Future 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: débutant The Basics of Commons Silke Helfrich Leuphana Digital School Führt die Digitalisierung in eine smarte grüne Welt oder in eine Wachstumsökonomie mit zunehmender Einkommensungleichheit, Machtgefällen und ökologischen Schäden? 2017 Level: débutant Die Digitalisierung der Ökonomie Steffen Lange iöw
