Der Begriff wird jedoch sehr unterschiedlich verwendet. Lars Weisbrod zeigt, dass sich hinter dem Begriff "Inflation" zwei Typen von Inflation verbergen, die in öffentlichen Debatten oft verwechselt werden: Angebots- und Nachfrageinflation. Um diese beiden Konzepte auseinanderzuhalten, schlägt der Autor die Bezeichnungen Teuerung und Geldentwertung vor. 2022 Level: początkujący Warum man das Wort "Inflation" nicht mehr benutzen sollte... und was man stattdessen sagen könnte Lars Weisbrod Substack The goal of this brief report is to put in one place some of the works that have come out of the movement to reform economics education. True to their training, the student movement for pluralism in economics education has been marked by an impressive amount of research: both on economics education itself and on more topical subjects within economics. 2019 Level: początkujący Mapping Pluralist Research - An overview of research within the student movement for pluralism in economics J. Christopher Proctor Oikos International Prof. Dr. Niko Paech, vielleicht Deutschlands bekanntester Vertreter der Postwachstumsökonomik, stellt in diesem Beitrag einen Theorie-Ansatz vor, Zeit in der Mikroökonomik neu zu denken. Da ein Tag für jeden Menschen nie mehr als 24 Stunden hat, ist Zeit die letztlich einzige Ressource, die wirklich knapp ist. 2010 Level: zaawansowane Nach dem Wachstumsrausch: Eine zeitökonomische Theorie der Suffizienz Niko Paech Zeitschrift für Sozialökonomie This course will expose students to some of the key debates that link digital transformations to economic, social, and political inequalities. Students will be familiarised with a variety of theoretical movements in development studies and internet studies: exploring thinking that frames the internet as a leveller that can bridge divides vs. exploring the internet as an infrastructure that amplifies existing inequalities. 2022 Level: ekspert Digital Capitalism and its Inequalities Prof. Mark Graham https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/study/courses/digital-capitalism-and-its-inequalities-2/ Der Beitrag "Der neue "woke" Kapitalismus - Eine Mogelpackung" bietet Reflexion und Auseinandersetzung mit dem Phänomen, dass Konzerne die Werte sozialer Bewegungen übernehmen bzw. sich diese aneignen. 2022 Level: początkujący Der neue "woke" Kapitalismus – Eine Mogelpackung? Dr. Alexander Grau SWR2 Wissen The historian Nicholas Mulder talks about the Western sanctions against Russia in the context of the Ukraine Crisis. He explains that the current sanctions are unprecedented in terms of size, speed and scope, expected consequences as well as potential drawbacks and problems. 2022 Level: początkujący Can Sanctions Stop Russia? Nicholas Mulder, interviewed by Annie Lowrey The Atlantic Dani Rodrik reflects in this book on important questions about how economics works and what might be wrong with it. He points out flaws and weakness of the discipline, but also argues that certain criticisms which have brought forward against are without merit. His central point is that there is not just one economic model, but a variety of them and it is important to apply judgment when selecting the most suitable one for a particular situation. 2016 Level: początkujący Economics Rules Dani Rodrik WW Norton "The Company of Strangers: A Natural History of Economic Life" by Paul Seabright is an engaging and informative book that explores the complex relationship between economic behavior and human instincts. Seabright uses real-world examples to present complex ideas in a clear and accessible way. The author argues that the market is not only a place for exchanging goods and services but also relies on trust, cooperation, and social norms. 2010 Level: początkujący The Company of Strangers Paul Seabright Princeton University Press Wie sähen Wirtschaftswissenschaften aus, die sich konsequent den Praktiken wirtschaftender Akteur*innen zuwenden? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, entwickelt Lukas Bäuerle einen konzeptuellen Rahmen aus Institutionen- und Praxistheorien, kritischem Realismus und Sozialphänomenologie, den er stringent zu einer praxeologischen Institutionenforschung zuspitzt. Am Beispiel der Subjektivierungspraktiken von Studierenden der Wirtschaftswissenschaften dekliniert er seinen Ansatz durch und deutet die empirischen Ergebnisse in Anlehnung an Friedrich Hayek, Karl Marx und Roberto Unger. Das Ergebnis: Wirtschaftswissenschaften sollten nicht nur grundlegend neu gemacht werden, sondern können es auch! 2022 Level: ekspert Ökonomie - Praxis - Subjektivierung Lukas Bäuerle Transcript Verlag An ideal type of a pluralistic book. Instead of arguing for one specific interpretation of a complex phenomenon, the authors present six different views on globalisation. Roberts and Lamp carefully balance the different perspectives, presenting the merits of each. 2021 Level: zaawansowane Six Faces of Globalization Anthea Roberts, Nicolas Lamp Harvard University Press "Specialise!" is the advice often given by career advisers, school teachers and the like. David Epstein takes the opposite position: In an ever more specialised, highly complex world, it pays to have good old-fashioned broad common knowledge in as many areas as you take interest in, both in terms of intellectual curiosity and professional success. To have a decent grasp of various aspects of life means to be able to discern the links between them, thus developing a better understanding of how our world works and what drives events as they unfold. 2020 Level: początkujący Range David Epstein Penguin LCC US
