I this short video, Isabella Weber questions traditional economic views and solutions to inflation. The video challenges the view that inflation is either a temporary phenomenon that requires no intervention or the result of rising output prices. Instead, the video shows how societal expectations in times of crises allow companies to raise prices more than necessary. Thereby, rising profits are an important aspect fuelling inflation.

Comment from our editors:

This video criticises mainstream economic theories on inflation and presents an alternative view in an accessible and nicely illustrated way. People that are already familiar with the concept, can learn more about "Sellers' inflation" here.

Der Zinsarbitrage (engl. interest arbitrage) liegt das Ausnutzen von Zinsdifferenzen zwischen Inland und Ausland als primäres Ziel zugrunde. Im Gegensatz zu anderen internationalen Kapitalbewegungen werden bei der Zinsarbitrage Risikoüberlegungen und Wechselkurserwartungen nahezu außer Acht gelassen. 2021 Level: débutant Zinsarbitrage   Wiwiwiki Als Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik ist es unser Ziel, die Vielfalt ökonomischer Themen in die Öffentlichkeit zu tragen. Deshalb veröffentlichen wir seit 2014 eine Kolumne in der Frankfurter Rundschau, in der wir aktuelle gesellschaftliche Themen aus der Perspektive der Pluralen Ökonomik beleuchten. 2024 Level: débutant Frankfurter Rundschau - Kolumne des Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik   Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik John Christensen from the Tax Justice Network addresses the Modern Monetary Theory idea that governments don't need tax revenues if they want to spend money. Doing so, he sums up the main points made by MMT proponents and their critics, and shows how MMT can be reconciled with another progressive economic narrative: "Modern Tax Theory". While MMT made valuable contributions to the policy debate on fiscal policy, it misrepresents the importance of taxation as a political matter and as a way to generate public revenues. This is where MMT steps in. 2019 Level: débutant The Magic Money Tree: From Modern Monetary Theory to Modern Tax Theory John Christensen Tax Justice Network This paper presents an overview of different models which explain financial crises, with the aim of understanding economic developments during and possibly after the Great Recession. In the first part approaches based on efficient markets and rational expectations hypotheses are analyzed, which however do not give any explanation for the occurrence of financial crises and thus cannot suggest any remedies for the present situation. A broad range of theoretical approaches analyzing financial crises from a medium term perspective is then discussed. Within this group we focused on the insights of Marx, Schumpeter, Wicksell, Hayek, Fisher, Keynes, Minsky, and Kindleberger. Subsequently the contributions of the Regulation School, the approach of Social Structures of Accumulation and Post-Keynesian approach, which focus on long-term developments and regime shifts in capitalist development, are presented. International approaches to finance and financial crises are integrated into the analyses. We address the issue of relevance of all these theories for the present crisis and draw some policy implications. The paper has the aim to find out to which extent the different approaches are able to explain the Great Recession, what visions they develop about future development of capitalism and to which extent these different approaches can be synthesized. 2015 Level: avancé Theories of finance and financial crisis: Lessons for the Great Recession Nina Dodig, Hansjörg Herr Institute for International Political Economy Berlin In seinem Vortrag erläutert Helge Peukert wie die neoklassische Denkschule und Wirtschaftspolitik zu der internationalen Finanz- und Schuldenkrise der letzten Jahre geführt hat. Hierbei übt Peukert besonders Kritik am bestehenden Banken - und Finanzsystem. Er zeigt auf welche Gefahren und Antriebsfaktoren solch ein System bergen kann. 2015 Level: avancé Die Finanz- und Staatsschuldenkrise Helge Peukert Netzwerk Plurale Ökonomik Ernest Mandel, a heterodox Marxist economist, shows here how a political economist can analyse systems such as the Soviet Union. 1968 Level: avancé The Nature and Economy of the Soviet Union Ernest Mandel YouTube
