Lisa Eiling beschreibt den Aufstieg des Wissenschaftsunternehmers Bernhard Harms im Ersten Weltkrieg und untersucht die Bedingungen fuer seine erfolgreiche Karriere als Wirtschaftsexperte in der Weimarer Republik. Obwohl Bernhard Harms als Oekonom wenig wissenschaftliche Reputation genoss, konnte er das privat finanzierte Institut fuer Weltwirtschaft als erstes Zentrum wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Grossforschung in Deutschland aufbauen und international etablieren. Um diese widerspruechliche Karriere zu erklaeren, nimmt die Autorin die Selbstkonstruktion des Wissenschaftsunternehmers als Mann der Tat in den Blick. Sie argumentiert, dass insbesondere sein imperialistisches Weltbild, sein praxisorientiertes Wissenschaftsverstaendnis und ein spezifischer Maennlichkeitsentwurf viele Unternehmer von einer Foerderung des Instituts fuer Weltwirtschaft ueberzeugten.

This volume examines concepts of central planning, a cornerstone of political economy in Soviet-type societies. It revolves around the theory of "optimal planning" which promised a profound modernization of Stalinist-style verbal planning. Encouraged by cybernetic dreams in the 1950s and supporting the strategic goals of communist leaders in the Cold War, optimal planners offered the ruling elites a panacea for the recurrent crises of the planned economy. Simultaneously, their planning projects conveyed the pride of rational management and scientific superiority over the West. The authors trace the rise and fall of the research program in the communist era in eight countries of Eastern Europe, including the Soviet Union, and China, describing why the mission of optimization was doomed to fail and why the failure was nevertheless very slow. The theorists of optimal planning contributed to the rehabilitation of mathematical culture in economic research in the communist countries, and thus, to a neoclassical turn in economics all over the ex-communist world). However, because they have not rejected optimal planning as "computopia," there is a large space left behind for future generations to experiment with Big Optimal Plans anew-based, at this time, on artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Bernie Sanders' socialist advocacy in the United States, communist China's economic successes and a Marxist revival are inspiring many to muse about improved strategies for building superior socialist futures. Socialist Economic Systems provides an objective record of socialism's promises and performance 1820-2022, identifies a feasible path forward and provides a rigorous analytic framework for the comparison of economic systems. The book opens by surveying pre-industrial utopias from Plato to Thomas More, and libertarian communal designs for superior living. It plumbs all aspects of the revolutionary and democratic socialist political movements that emerged after 1870 and considers the comparative economic, political and social performance of the USSR and others from the Bolshevik Revolution onwards. The book also provides case studies for all revolutionary Marxist-Leninist regimes, and supplementary discussions of Mondragon cooperatives, Israeli kibbutzim, Nordic corporatism, and European democratic socialism. It investigates the theoretical and practical complexities of command-planning, reform communism, market communism, worker economic management and egalitarianism. It examines communism as an engine of economic growth, and a mechanism for improving people's quality of existence, including living standards, labor self-governance, egalitarianism, social justice, and prevention of crimes against humanity before addressing the perennial question of what needs to be done next. A suggested path forward is elaborated drawing lessons from the warts-and-all historical performance of socialist economies 1917-2022 and failed socialist prophesy. The evidence indicates that the key to 21st century socialism success lies in empowering workers of all descriptions to govern democratically for their mutual protection and welfare without the extraneous imposition of priorities imposed by other movements. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in Socialism, political economy, comparative economic systems and political and social history.

Sassetti was neither a principled critic of imperialism nor a principled advocate of liberalism, but a pragmatic theorist of free trade Sassetti was very much the archetypal Renaissance man

Within Post-Keynesian economics there is a spectrum of approaches to theories of the firm but what they have in common, to their great benefit, is a proper integration of the concept of radical uncertainty: data that cannot be known. This book revisits Kalecki's theory of the firm is located to show that it constitutes fertile theoretical ground on which to systematically understand the resultant indeterminacy when firms operate under conditions of radical uncertainty. The author proposes a way of generalising radical uncertainty by integrating some of the separate approaches within Post-Keynesian economics centred around Kalecki's work. Through this, it is shown that radical uncertainty does more than just change the ultimate motivation of firms (dropping short run profit maximisation; more complex motivation; interconnectivity with the environment), it is central to the emergence, existence and motivation of firms, and critically also firm strategy. It is argued that firms do not simply respond to uncertainty: it is the systematic cause of their intentional behaviour. Through developing these arguments, the book also contributes to the methodology of Kalecki and Shackle, as well as Kaleckian price theory. This book will be important reading for anyone interested in theories of the firm, Post-Keynesian economics and heterodox approaches to economics more broadly.

Economists in the Cold War is an account of the economic drivers and outcomes of the Cold War, told through the stories of seven international economists, who were all closely involved in theory and policy in the period 1945-73. For them, the Cold War was a battle of economic ideas, a fight between central planning and market allocation, exploring economic thinking derived from the battle between Marxist and Capitalist ideologies, a fundamental difference but with many intricacies. The book recounts how economic theory advanced, how new economic tools were developed, and how policies were tested. Each chapter is based on the involvement of one of the selected economists. It was a challenging but dangerous time in economics: a time of economic recovery post-war, with industrial rebuilding, economic growth, and rising incomes. But it was also a time of ideological warfare, nuclear rivalry, military expansion, and personal conflict. The narrative is approximately chronological, ranging from the Potsdam Conference in Germany to the Pinochet Coup in Chile. The selected economists include an American, a Pole, a Hungarian, a German, a British, a Japanese, and an Argentinian, all very different economists, but with interconnections among them. Each chapter also features a dissenting economist who held a contrasting view, and recounts the subsequent economic arguments that played out.

History is replete with examples of scientists and social scientists working under the yoke of oppressive regimes. In The Closed World of East German Economists, Till Dueppe tells the story of a generation of economists whose entire careers coincided with the forty-one-year existence of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). In a micro-historical fashion, he examines the world of East German economists through the formative episodes in the lives of five different economists from this "hope" generation. Using both the perspective of the actors as expressed in interviews and archival material unknown to the actors, the book follows East German economics from the early days of the acceptance of Marxism-Leninism through to its interaction with Western economics and its eventual dissolution following the collapse of the Berlin Wall. It is fascinating insight into the challenges faced by economists in a unique period of European history.

ISBN 978-3-031-21156-0 hard ¥27,453.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book aims to study, from an approach linked to epistemology and the history of ideas, the evolution of economic science and its differing seminal systems. Today mainstream economics solves certain problems chosen within the scope of "normal science," without questioning the epistemological foundations that support the paradigm within which they were conceived. Contrary to a Neoclassical interpretation, the historicist interpretation shows that, from the incommensurability of the different paradigms, it is impossible to conceive of a progress of economic science, in a long-term perspective. This book ultimately reveals, from the different economic schools of thought analyzed, that there is no pure form of episteme, or system of understanding. Each concrete episteme in the history of economic thought is by nature hybrid in the sense that it contains components from preceding systems of knowledge.

Kozik, Walther, Die Herausbildung des Institutionalismus: Ueber die Grundlegungen bei Thorstein Bunde Veblen, John Roger Commons und Wesley Clair Mitchell. 320 S. 2022:11 (Metropolis, GW) <693-203>
ISBN 978-3-7316-1522-4 paper ¥8,025.- (税込) EUR 38.00

Thorstein Bunde Veblen, John Roger Commons und Wesley Clair Mitchell gelten als Begruender des Institutionalismus. Ihr theoretischer Ansatz, der in den ersten Dezennien des 20. Jahrhunderts entstand, griff die neuesten Erkenntnisse aus Psychologie, Soziologie und Philosophie auf und versuchte ein realistisches Menschenbild als Grundlage fuer jegliches Theoretisieren zu implementieren. In Anlehnung an die Historische Schule der Nationaloekonomie, mit der sich die Genannten zum Teil intensiv auseinandergesetzt hatten, erkannten sie, dass der Mensch nur in Vergesellschaftung zu denken und damit Teil eines umfassenden historischen Kontinuums ist. Als entscheidend fuer das sozio-oekonomische Geschehen identifizierten sie die Frage nach der Wechselwirkung zwischen Individuum und Gesellschaft. Diese wird, so ihre Erkenntnis, durch Institutionen vermittelt. Fuer Thorstein Veblen sind das ?habits of thought common to the generality of men.“ Sie sind es, die einen Menschen fuer ein bestimmtes sozio-oekonomisches Umfeld tauglich machen, ihn also sozialisieren. Fuer sie gelten jene evolutorischen Gesetzmaessigkeiten, wie sie vor allem von Charles Darwin formuliert wurden. In den Jahren nach dem 1. Weltkrieg sah es kurzfristig danach aus, als koennte der Institutionalismus der neue (wirtschaftswissenschaftliche) Mainstream werden. Die weltweite Wirtschaftskrise, die 1929 begann, und der dadurch induzierte Bedarf der Wirtschaftspolitik an simplen Modellen und ebensolchen Handlungsempfehlungen verhinderten das. Gegenwaertig wird der Institutionalismus meist als oekonomisches Kuriosum behandelt. Dabei ist der Institutionalismus in der Tradition von Veblen, Commons und Mitchell heute aktueller denn je. Die Erklaerung, die Veblen und Mitchell z.B. fuer die zyklischen Bewegungen der Wirtschaft entwickelten, koennen u.a. die Spekulationskrise von 2008 schluessig erklaeren. In ihren Theorien haben sie auch das unwaegbare Risiko, das globale Lieferketten mit sich bringen, antizipiert und eine plausible Erklaerung fuer die ungewohnt starke Inflation, wie sie momentan international zu beobachten ist, geboten.

This book examines the history of economic thought and of political economy over the past 250 years. It presents an accessible introduction to the lives and ideas of some of economics' most prominent theoreticians, including at least one representative of each major school of economic thought. Additionally, learning objectives, summaries, key takeaways, and revision questions are included to facilitate learning and self-assessment. The concise nature of this book makes it an easy-to-use guide to the early pioneers of political economy (Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Walras), the 20th century innovators of economics (Keynes, Schumpeter, Hayek, Friedman, Solow), or the more recent research in the discipline (Nash, Sen, Stiglitz, Krugman). Those interested in the history of economic thought will find this book to be an invaluable resource.

ISBN 978-1-108-83109-3 hard ¥23,094.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00

The two dominant conceptions of political economy are based on either reducing political decisions to rational-choice reasoning or, conversely, reducing economic structures and phenomena to the realm of politics. In this book, Adrian Pabst and Roberto Scazzieri contend that neither conception is convincing and argue for a fundamental rethinking of political economy. Developing a new approach at the interface of economic theory and political thought, the book shows that political economy covers a plurality of dimensions, which reflect internal hierarchies and multiple relationships within the economic and political sphere. The Constitution of Political Economy presents a new, richer conception of political economy that draws on a range of thinkers from the history of political economy, recognising the complex embedding of the economy and the polity in society. Effective policy-making has to reflect this embedding and rests on the interdependence between local, national, and international actors to address multiple systemic crises.

Als sich 2021 der 350. Geburtstag von John Law jaehrte, dominierte in den zu diesem Anlass zahlreich auftauchenden publizistischen Aeusserungen die Erinnerung an einen Schotten, der ein fruehes Papiergeldsystem einfuehrte, Frankreich dadurch in die finanzielle Katastrophe gefuehrt hat und im Uebrigen ein Abenteurer, eine Spielernatur oder gar ein Scharlatan gewesen sei. Meist mit einer Warnung vor allzu lockerer Geldpolitik verbunden, hat sich ein unausrottbar scheinendes, einseitiges Image reproduziert, das aus der Sicht ernsthafter theoriehistorischer Forschung schon laengst nicht mehr haltbar ist. Die hier vorgelegte Analyse hat das Ziel, weiteren Fehlurteilen ueber das Schaffen von John Law entgegenzutreten. Es wird herausgearbeitet, wie zaeh und unbeirrbar Law, gepraegt von den zeitgenoessischen Auseinandersetzungen um Geld und Waehrung, selbst zu einem beeindruckenden und kritischen Theoretiker werden konnte, den es draengte, seine Erkenntnisse in Politik und Wirtschaft fruchtbar zu machen. Eingebettet in biographische Anmerkungen wird der Weg John Laws nachgezeichnet, dem es schliesslich gelang, sich durch seinen wachen Geist und eine ausserordentliche Beharrlichkeit die Aufmerksamkeit der politischen Granden seiner Zeit zu verschaffen und sein ?System“ in die Praxis umzusetzen. Im Zentrum der Darstellung steht das theoretische Werk von Law. Einige der durch internationale Forschungen inzwischen bekannten, in deutscher Sprache aber nicht vorliegenden und daher hierzulande weitgehend unbekannt gebliebenen Arbeiten Laws wurden in die Betrachtung einbezogen. Eine bisher noch nicht publizierte und nur archivarisch in franzoesischer Handschrift zugaengliche Schrift von Law wird in der Uebersetzung vollinhaltlich vorgestellt. Eine detaillierte Darstellung des Law’schen Systems, das mit dem grossen Zusammenbruch von 1720 endete, bildet den Abschluss. Die vielen Aktivitaeten Laws im Kontext der Gruendung der Bank und der Beteiligung an Handelsgesellschaften sind vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte des absolutistischen Frankreichs einzuordnen, und auch dabei gibt es Anlass, die Person John Laws in einem anderen Licht zu sehen und seine Rehabilitierung voranzutreiben.

In der zweiten Haelfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, lange nach der Renaissance und waehrend die Industrialisierung ganze Gesellschaften umkrempelte, wurde ausgerechnet die Antike fuer einige Wissenschaftler noch einmal zum Schluessel fuer das Verstaendnis der Gegenwart. Denn auf der Ebene der Gesellschaftsentwicklung liessen sich ? so die Vorstellung der Historischen Schule der Nationaloekonomie ? kulturuebergreifende Regelmaessigkeiten entdecken, die auf die Existenz von im Hintergrund wirkenden Gesetzen hindeuteten. Mit der Erkenntnis einer solchen allgemeinen Gesellschaftsentwicklung, hoffte man, der gegenwaertigen Sozialpolitik die Richtung weisen und die Geschichtsschreibung revolutionieren zu koennen. Die vorliegende Studie unternimmt einen Streifzug durch die Fruehgeschichte der deutschen Gesellschaftsgeschichtsschreibung des Altertums und beginnt in einer Zeit, in der die Idee, das Verstaendnis der Vergangenheit auf die Erforschung der damals herrschenden Gesellschaftsverhaeltnisse zu stuetzen, selbst noch neu war und entsprechend faszinierende Erkenntnisse versprach. Sie untersucht den Ursprung soziooekonomischer Antikebetrachtungen im Umfeld der Historischen Schule der Nationaloekonomie und verfolgt das Herueberwachsen ihrer theoretisch-methodischen Vorstellungen in die Geschichts- und Altertumswissenschaften. Schliesslich zeichnet sie den Niedergang dieses von der Historischen Schule inspirierten Forschungsprogramms nach, der sich infolge der verschiedenen Methodenstreitigkeiten der Sozial-, Wirtschafts- und Geschichtswissenschaften unweigerlich ergab. Von der Scharnierstelle einer Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Oekonomie, der Geschichts- sowie der Altertumswissenschaft aus werden in uebergreifender Perspektive insbesondere auch die Beitraege von Robert von Poehlmann, dem eine eigene Fallstudie gewidmet ist, sowie des jungen Max Weber in eine gemeinsame Tradition mit Roscher, Hildebrand, Knies Rodbertus und Lorenz von Stein eingeordnet.

This is the first book that systematically considers the academic achievements of Japanese institutionalist post-Keynesian economists in the postwar period and argues that we can learn much from their intellectual heritage. Those Japanese economists include the world-renowned figures, Shigeto Tsuru and Hirofumi Uzawa, whose inheritance came from Keynes, Marx, and institutionalism. In the era of globalization after the 1990s, economic inequality and social divide have intensified all over the world. In this situation, the academic achievements of those economists in postwar Japan should be reconsidered for the aim of establishing a new political economy. With this perspective, the book looks at what we can learn from Japanese institutionalist post-Keynesian economists In particular, the essence of research work that each of them developed is identified, focusing on the total image of the economy for contemporary capitalism. Those economists benefited from the diverse legacies of Keynes, Marx, Kalecki and institutionalist economists such as Veblen and Galbraith. When their research is examined systematically, Japanese institutionalist post-Keynesians are commonly characterized as those who developed their institutional analysis of contemporary capitalism with in-depth theoretical and empirical studies, with the aim of establishing their own political economy as the moral science of civil society. These important features provide us with insightful implications for institutional economics in the 21st century.

Franz Petrys 1916 erschienene Schrift zum sozialen Gehalt der Marxschen Werttheorie widmet sich mit bemerkenswerter Klarheit der systematischen Bedeutung des Marxschen Wertbegriffs fuer seine Konzeption wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Verhaeltnisse. Die Abhandlung macht u?ber diesen zentralen Begriff die Marxsche Sozialtheorie insgesamt und deren Konzeptionalisierung oekonomischer Geltungsverhaeltnisse zum Gegenstand. Petrys Auseinandersetzung erfolgt noch vor der Kanonisierung der Marxrezeption in den 1920er Jahren, weshalb sie von den fuer diese Zeit zunehmend praegenden ideologischen Interventionen und politischen Abhaengigkeiten weitgehend unbeeinflusst ist. Sie formuliert ihre kritische Analyse weder aus einer dezidiert liberalen Perspektive noch von einem marxistischen Standpunkt, sondern ist vielmehr unter Rueckgriff auf Positionen von Riehl und Rickert vordringlich durch die neukantianische Wissenschaftstheorie gepraegt.

A comprehensive history of Henry George and the single tax movement.In 1912, Sun Yat-sen announced the birth of the Chinese Republic and promised that it would be devoted to the economic welfare of all its people. In shaping his plans for wealth redistribution, he looked to an American now largely forgotten in the United States: Henry George. In Land and Liberty, Christopher William England excavates the lost history of one of America's most influential radicals and explains why so many activists were once inspired by his proposal to tax landed wealth. Drawing on the private papers of a network of devoted believers, Land and Liberty represents the first comprehensive account of this important movement to nationalize land and expropriate rent. Beginning with concerns about rising rents in the 1870s and ending with the establishment of New Deal policies that extended public control over land, natural resources, and housing, "Georgism" served as a catalyst for reforms intended to make the nation more democratic. Many of these concerns remain relevant today, including the exploitation of natural resources, rising urban rent, and wealth inequality. At a time when class divisions sparked fears that capitalism and democracy were incompatible, hopes of building a social welfare state using the rents of idle landlords revitalized the middle class's conviction that democracy and liberty could be reconciled. Against steep odds, George made land nationalization vital to the politics of a nation dominated by small farmers and helped push liberalism leftward through his calls for collective rights to land and natural resources.

A Financial Times Best Book of the Year "A must-read, with key lessons for the future."-Thomas Piketty A groundbreaking examination of austerity's dark intellectual origins. For more than a century, governments facing financial crisis have resorted to the economic policies of austerity-cuts to wages, fiscal spending, and public benefits-as a path to solvency. While these policies have been successful in appeasing creditors, they've had devastating effects on social and economic welfare in countries all over the world. Today, as austerity remains a favored policy among troubled states, an important question remains: What if solvency was never really the goal? In The Capital Order, political economist Clara E. Mattei explores the intellectual origins of austerity to uncover its originating motives: the protection of capital-and indeed capitalism-in times of social upheaval from below. Mattei traces modern austerity to its origins in interwar Britain and Italy, revealing how the threat of working-class power in the years after World War I animated a set of top-down economic policies that elevated owners, smothered workers, and imposed a rigid economic hierarchy across their societies. Where these policies "succeeded," relatively speaking, was in their enrichment of certain parties, including employers and foreign-trade interests, who accumulated power and capital at the expense of labor. Here, Mattei argues, is where the true value of austerity can be observed: its insulation of entrenched privilege and its elimination of all alternatives to capitalism. Drawing on newly uncovered archival material from Britain and Italy, much of it translated for the first time, The Capital Order offers a damning and essential new account of the rise of austerity-and of modern economics-at the levers of contemporary political power.

An essential origin story of modern society's most influential economic doctrine. The Chicago School of economic thought has been subject to endless generalizations-and mischaracterizations-in contemporary debate. What is often portrayed as a monolithic obsession with markets is, in fact, a nuanced set of economic theories born from decades of research and debate. The Monetarists is a deeply researched history of the monetary policies-and personalities-that codified the Chicago School of monetary thought from the 1930s through the 1960s. These policies can be characterized broadly as monetarism: the belief that prices and interest rates can be kept stable by controlling the amount of money in circulation. As economist George S. Tavlas makes clear, these ideas were more than just the legacy of Milton Friedman; they were a tradition in theory brought forth by a crucible of minds and debates throughout campus. Through unprecedented mining of archival material, The Monetarists offers the first complete history of one of the twentieth century's most formative intellectual periods and places. It promises to elevate our understanding of this doctrine and its origins for generations to come.

≫Economics Revisited. On the Immanent Inaccuracy of Economics. To Adolph Wagner (1835-1917)≪: Up to now economic theory is presented as mathematical economics with the scent of a precise and homogenous theory. But in the end we have fuzziness ? in variables, data and supposed functional relations. Differences between the existing economies as well as rapid changes by all kinds of innovations and demografic impulses would perhaps require fuzzy mathematics, nearly without any possibilities of prediction. The reasons are outlined in the book in hand.

This volume features 19 original essays on Adam Smith's conception of modernity. The contributions demonstrate the relevance of Smith as the great interpreter of modernity 250 years after the publication of The Wealth of Nations.The chapters in Part 1 focus on structural aspects of Smith's work. They cover topics such as Smith as theorist of spontaneous order, the systematic dimension of Smith's theoretical construction, and Smith's role as a historian of economic thought. Part 2 addresses Smith's conception of modern subjectivity between Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles-Lettres, Theory of Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations. Here the contributors consider the figure of the Smithian "merchant" and the importance of ridicule and satire for understanding modern civility, and comment on the role of sympathy, imagination and moral judgement in developing a sense of self, the condition of the modern man in society, and the virtue of self-command. Part 3 focuses on the crucial question of the relationship between ethics and economics discussing the link between efficiency, equity and justice, the nature of Smith's theory of value, and the ethical connotation of Smith's critique. Part 4 deals with topics inherent to the functional dynamics and development process of the Smithian "commercial society". These topics include law and authority, the relationship between work and freedom, the parable of the "poor man's son", and the economic and political consequences of the new secular orthodoxy. Finally, the chapters in Part 5 explore themes related to history and the Smithian idea of progress. They focus on the link between trade and progress of civilization, Smith's modern sociological vision of mass commercial societies, Smith's judgment on "savage" and premodern societies, and the controversial question of the immanentistic or providentialist perspective from which Smith considers both the social dynamics and the historical process. Adam Smith and Modernity will appeal to scholars and advanced students on 18th-century philosophy, the history of economic thought, and the history of social and political philosophy.

Adam Smith's contribution to economics is well recognised, yet scholars have recently been exploring anew the multidisciplinary nature of his works. The Adam Smith Review is a rigorously refereed annual review that provides a unique forum for interdisciplinary debate on all aspects of Adam Smith's works, his place in history, and the significance of his writings to the modern world. It is aimed at facilitating debate among scholars working across the humanities and social sciences, thus emulating the reach of the Enlightenment world which Smith helped to shape.This thirteenth volume demonstrates, perhaps more so than any other issue in recent memory, the dazzling breadth and diversity of Smith scholarship across the disciplines today - from studies of hospitals, balls and monsters to colonies, clerisy, language and the mind; from issues of empathy, compassion, cohesion, translation, representation, paternalism and moral innovation, to Smith's influence on Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, American and Italian thought and practice. Adam Smith remains our companion, always provoking us, and stimulating creative directions in our thinking and research.

This book explores Austrian capital theory and Austrian business theory from the perspective of modern economics. Sustainable change within the production structure is examined in relation to time preference, the Boehm-Bawerkian theory of capital and interest, and the Hayek Triangle. In turn, the impact of monetary shocks and boom-bust cycles is detailed, with a particular focus on the Ricardo Effect, dynamics of money supply, and the natural rate of interest. This book aims to present a new framework for Austrian economics that will make these ideas applicable to both mainstream economic models and modern economists. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought and the political economy.

Widely recognized as one of the greatest economists in history, there has been a surge of interest in the work of John Maynard Keynes since the financial crisis of 2008 with people looking for solutions to rebalance the economy. Presciently, Keynes argued that free markets are unable to fully organize economic activity and that the steadying and reforming hand of the State is needed for capitalism to function properly. In the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2008, and exacerbated by a global pandemic, these ideas are more timely than ever. This book provides an introduction to Keynes' thought on capitalism, the State and macroeconomics. It starts with Keynes' epistemological theory of his A Treatise on Probability (1921), from which aspects such as uncertainty and the decision-making process, both later important in his economic work, can be drawn. The book then pursues Keynes' economic writings. From A Tract on the Monetary Reform (1923) and A Treatise on Money (1930) it shows Keynes' pursuit of a full understanding of the role of money in the economy. Keynes masterfully demonstrated the knowledge he gained through his 1936 masterpiece The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. Going beyond Keynes' classic, this books also explores his later work on economic policy prescriptions and finally his concept of State and economic development. This accessible introduction to the economic thought of Keynes will be essential reading for those interested in the history and development of economics, as well as political scientists, sociologists, historians and others seeking an overview of these foundational economic ideas.

A sweeping intellectual history of the concept of economic scarcity-its development across five hundred years of European thought and its decisive role in fostering the climate crisis.Modern economics presumes a particular view of scarcity, in which human beings are innately possessed of infinite desires and society must therefore facilitate endless growth and consumption irrespective of nature's limits. Yet as Fredrik Albritton Jonsson and Carl Wennerlind show, this vision of scarcity is historically novel and was not inevitable even in the age of capitalism. Rather, it reflects the costly triumph of infinite-growth ideologies across centuries of European economic thought-at the expense of traditions that sought to live within nature's constraints.The dominant conception of scarcity today holds that, rather than master our desires, humans must master nature to meet those desires. Albritton Jonsson and Wennerlind argue that this idea was developed by thinkers such as Francis Bacon, Samuel Hartlib, Alfred Marshall, and Paul Samuelson, who laid the groundwork for today's hegemonic politics of growth. Yet proponents of infinite growth have long faced resistance from agrarian radicals, romantic poets, revolutionary socialists, ecofeminists, and others. These critics-including the likes of Gerrard Winstanley, Dorothy Wordsworth, Karl Marx, and Hannah Arendt-embraced conceptions of scarcity in which our desires, rather than nature, must be mastered to achieve the social good. In so doing, they dramatically reenvisioned how humans might interact with both nature and the economy.Following these conflicts into the twenty-first century, Albritton Jonsson and Wennerlind insist that we need new, sustainable models of economic thinking to address the climate crisis. Scarcity is not only a critique of infinite growth, but also a timely invitation to imagine alternative ways of flourishing on Earth.

≫The Formation of Business Cycle Research in the Early 20th Century≪: The formation of research on macroeconomic fluctuations in the early 20th century was characterised by a debate on key questions: is the business cycle a problem of applied economic theory, or does it require a fundamentally new synthesis of micro- and macroeconomics? What was the role of money in completing this task? Can macro fluctuations be explained by a collection and inspection of data, or can these data only be properly read by a dominant theory, chosen for analytical reasons?

The central theme in the work of F.A. Hayek was the problem of order in society, and his focus was epistemological: he was concerned with the constraints on knowledge, the problems associated with its distribution, the structures in which it inheres, and the implications of these issues for the understanding of social phenomena generally. But while his work has greatly improved our understanding of market processes, application to more complex social arrangements was not an unambiguous success.In seeking to progress beyond Hayek's difficulties in formulating a more general theory of spontaneous order, this book fleshes out an analogy between social orders and the biological order detailed in Hayek's The Sensory Order into a theory of adaptive systems. It focuses first on those aspects of the systems which enable them to learn about their environments, and then on the entrepreneurial processes which implement their anticipatory capabilities. The inclusion of anticipatory elements, inspired by the work of Robert Rosen, results in a theory of social orders which integrates many of the disparate findings of Austrian economists into a self-consistent conceptual framework and has applicability to other social arrangements such as firms and governments. Of particular interest is the interaction between the systems of science and government, an issue of significant current concern which is comprehensively explored here both theoretically and empirically.This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Hayek, Austrian economics, social theory, and the history of economic thought more broadly.

This book discusses key issues in economic policy in the context of the history of economic thought.Most of the current and past academic controversies in economics are, explicitly or implicitly, centered around the application and form of economic policy. This is particularly evident in the post-WWII period, with the appearance of economic policy as a distinguishable subfield, but important elements of various economic policy issues can be found throughout the history of economic thought. This book discusses various topics in economic policy - such as questions over state spending and taxation, income redistribution, and the role of money - with each chapter focusing on a particular period or major school of economic thought ranging from the 'prehistory' of economics up to the present day. Specific chapters of the volume cover the main schools of economic thought from different national and theoretical traditions, incorporating mercantilism, the Physiocratic School, the German Historical school, Marxism, the Austrian School, institutional economics, Keynesian economics, behavioral economics and more. This book will be of great interest to readers of the history of economic policy as well as history of economic thought, macroeconomics and economic history more broadly.

In diesem Band der Gesammelten Schriften werden 15 Beitraege sowie Notizen aus dem Nachlass Walter Euckens ediert, kommentiert und in einer ausfuehrlichen Einleitung systematisch und historisch eingeordnet, die Walter Eucken zwischen 1921 und 1950 verfasst hat. Das Thema, das diese Beitraege verbindet, ist die Wahrnehmung der Gegenwart als Krisenzeit und die Frage danach, worin die Ursachen der Krise zu sehen sind und auf welchem Wege ihre Loesung gefunden werden kann. In allen Texten setzt sich Eucken mit alternativen Krisendeutungen und Loesungsvorschlaegen auseinander. Besonders gruendlich analysiert und kritisiert er die Deutungen und Vorschlaege sozialistischer Denker und der Vertreter der Idee des "totalen Staates". Anhand der Texte wird Euckens Weg zum ordoliberalen Forschungsprogramm deutlich. Bis Anfang der 1930er Jahre ging es ihm allgemein um die geistige Krise der Neuzeit. Die spaeteren Texte zeigen, dass er die geistige Lage zwar im Auge behielt, sich in der Forschung aber auf die staatlich-gesellschaftlichen Strukturwandlungen konzentrierte, die er fuer die Krise des Kapitalismus verantwortlich machte, sowie auf die strukturellen Reformen, die er fuer eine Loesung dieser Krise fuer erforderlich hielt.

Walter Eucken (1891-1950) war einer der bedeutendsten Oekonomen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er begruendete den Ordoliberalismus, eine neue Form des Liberalismus. Euckens Idee zufolge sollte der Staat mit einem starken Ordnungsrahmen dafuer sorgen, dass in der Wirtschaft ein freier und fairer Wettbewerb stattfinden kann, den wirtschaftliche Machtkoerper wie Kartelle und Monopole nicht zu ihren Gunsten aushebeln koennen. Die ausgewaehlten Briefe der Jahre 1907 bis 1932 werfen nicht nur ein erhellendes Licht auf viele bislang unbekannte Momente seiner Biographie und wichtige persoenliche sowie wissenschaftliche Beziehungen. Sie belegen auch auf eindrucksvolle Weise, dass die Entwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Ansichten Euckens sowohl das Ergebnis einer gruendlichen Auseinandersetzung mit den wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen, philosophischen und theologischen Positionen seiner Zeit als auch einer tiefgehenden Analyse der jeweils aktuellen wirtschaftspolitischen Probleme war. Fuer den Zeitraum, den die Briefe dieses Bandes abdecken, betrifft das die weltanschauliche Orientierungskrise nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg, die Sozialisierungsbestrebungen nach der Novemberrevolution, die Hyperinflation und die Waehrungsreform Ende 1923, das Reparationsproblem, die Kartell- und Zollfrage, den Kapitalmangel sowie die nach Ausbruch der Weltwirtschaftskrise 1929 akut werdenden sozialpolitischen Herausforderungen.

Diese biographische Studie nimmt das Leben Walter Euckens in den Blick, eines der bedeutendsten Oekonomen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er hat mit Kollegen aus der Rechtswissenschaft die Tradition der Freiburger Ordnungsoekonomik begruendet. Seine Erkenntnisse zu den Funktionsbedingungen einer freiheitlichen Wirtschafts- und Sozialordnung, die Wettbewerb und Menschenwuerde in den Mittelpunkt stellt, wurden ideelle Grundlage fuer die Soziale Marktwirtschaft in Deutschland. Dieses Lebensbild Euckens stuetzt sich auf einen betraechtlichen Teil seiner nachgelassenen Korrespondenz. Er war in einen grossen Familien-, Freundes-, Kollegen- und Schuelerkreis eingebunden. Als wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Lehrer und Forscher war er ein unangepasster Denker, der eigene Wege bahnte. Im Rahmen der Freiburger Kreise engagierte er sich im Widerstand gegen die NS-Diktatur. In den Nachkriegsjahren wirkte er in der Politikberatung und plaedierte vehement fuer den ordnungspolitischen Kurs der Freiburger Schule.

This book examines at a static level how Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations (1776) was introduced into China at the turn of the twentieth century. In a dynamic socio-economic context, Yan Fu (1854-1921) had The Wealth of Nations in mind as a prescription for China's "Wealth and Power". This book aims answer the question of whether The Wealth of Nations, a book which advocates laissez-faire, free trade, and minimum governance helpful for China with very different economic conditions and modes of thought to the West and goes on to reexamine Yan Fu's economic ideas through a modern economics perspective.

This interdisciplinary volume explores the relationship between history and a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences: economics, political science, political theory, international relations, sociology, philosophy, law, literature and anthropology. The relevance of historical approaches within these disciplines has shifted over the centuries. Many of them, like law and economics, originally depended on self-consciously historical procedures. These included the marshalling of evidence from past experience, philological techniques and source criticism. Between the late nineteenth and the middle of the twentieth century, the influence of new methods of research, many indebted to models favoured by the natural sciences, such as statistical, analytical or empirical approaches, secured an expanding intellectual authority while the hegemony of historical methods declined in relative terms. In the aftermath of this change, the essays collected in History in the Humanities and Social Sciences reflect from a variety of angles on the relevance of historical concerns to representative disciplines as they are configured today.

Since the financial crisis of 2008, ordoliberalism emerged from relative obscurity to become one of the crucial terms of analysis across a wide range of academic literatures and public discussion. In fact, it became the main reference for a number of issues, including assessments of the attempted resolution of the Eurozone crisis, arguments about German hegemony in Europe, debates over the future of economic liberalism and controversies about authoritarian liberalism. What is striking about ordoliberalism is its pronounced ambiguity, as some view it as a more refined and potentially progressive variant of neoliberalism, while others cast it as a blueprint for a regime of austerity reigning over a society of competition with only rudimentary democratic institutions. And while ordoliberalism is often portrayed as a quintessentially German tradition, its impact has not been confined to the German context, extending all the way to the unlikely case of China. In short, ordoliberalism is a phenomenon of arguably considerable influence that remains poorly understood, as it is mystified by its proponents and vilified by its critics. The Oxford Handbook of Ordoliberalism contains a selection of chapters written by an international cast of experts on ordoliberalism that aim to elucidate and analyze the latter in all of its many facets. From the intellectual origins and prime exemplars to its main theoretical themes and practical applications up to the most recent debates taking place across a range of disciplines, this volume offers the first comprehensive account of ordoliberalism for the English-speaking world.
