Caring activities are one central element of feminist economists' analysis – also since in particular unremunerated work is a blind spot in mainstream economics and most other economic paradigms. Those focus on the market sphere: activities are considered as productive and as real labour if they are remunerated and market-intermediated. Goods and services are considered as labour if they create a value which can be traded on the market. Feminist Economics remarks that this perspective creates certain dichotomies and consequent devaluations: unproductive – productive; private – public; unpaid – remunerated OR paid less – well paid; female – male; soft work – hard work; caring – rationality. 2016 Level: débutant Reproductive Labour and Care Exploring Economics Exploring Economics Based on a critique on econometric and DSGE models (in particular in the context of the financial crisis), Doyne Farmer presents his current research programme that aims at building an agent-based model of the financial and economic crisis. It models heterogeneous agents and from there simulates the economy, firstly for the housing market. The interview gives a short insight in the research programme. 2011 Level: débutant Macroeconomics From the Bottom Up Doyne Farmer INET The Canadian author and journalist Richard Swift takes the listener on a journey to different degrowth projects. During the visits concepts of the degrowth movement are explained and practical examples are highlighted. In the elaborate programme different actors of the international degrowth movement get to speak (e.g. Joan Martinez Alier, Federico Demaria). 2013 Level: débutant The Degrowth Paradigm Richard Swift CBC Radio 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: avancé Modern Monetary Theory and the public purpose Dirk H. Ehnts, Maurice Höfgen Institute for International Political Economy Berlin Angesichts der momentan Mehrfachkrisen gerät das lange Zeit dominierende neoliberale Gesellschaftsprogramm an seine Grenzen – und mit ihm seine konstitutiven Leitbilder. Daraus erwachsen demokratiezersetzenden und autoritäre Bewegungen. Ein Beitrag von Eva Groß, Andreas Hövermann und Amelie Nickel. 2024 Level: débutant Das unternehmerische Selbst in der Krise Eva Groß, Andreas Hövermann und Amelie Nickel Economists for Future Die Bioökonomie scheint eine elegante Lösung für die Klimakrise zu sein. Feministische Perspektiven zeigen jedoch, wodurch die Bioökonomie Unterdrückung und Ausbeutung (re)produziert – und wie sie stattdessen inklusiv und gerecht gestaltet werden kann.
