Die schonungslose Bestandsaufnahme unserer Wirtschaft: Wir können alles - außer digital! Was kann Google, was Volkswagen und Bosch nicht können? Unsere Maschinenbauer, Autoindustrie, Energieversorger, unser Handel, unsere Banken und Dienstleister, aber auch unsere Politiker - Deutschland hat das 21. Jahrhundert mit einem Fehlstart begonnen. Werden wir digitale Provinz oder gelingt uns die Wende zum "Silicon Germany"?

Perché l'economia italiana non riesce a ripartire? Secondo Carlo Cottarelli, la precarietà che ostacola la nostra ripresa economica non è legata a un destino che siamo costretti a subire. Deriva soprattutto da sette gravissimi errori che il sistema dell'economia italiana continua a commettere. Sono i peccati capitali dell'economia italiana: l'evasione fiscale, la corruzione, la troppa burocrazia, la lentezza della giustizia, il crollo demografico, l'incapacità di stare nell'euro, il divario tra Nord e Sud.

Der Beginn einer neuen Wirtschafts- und Finanzordnung März 2020. Angela Merkel spricht von der größten Herausforderung seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Einschränkungen des gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Lebens haben innerhalb kürzester Zeit zu Veränderungen geführt, die hierzulande...

Se quel che conta è la prosperità delle persone, il mercato e lo stato, eterni poli fra cui oscilla l'economia, non sono altro che strumenti per raggiungere quell'obiettivo e a nulla valgono le prese di posizione ideologiche. La contrapposizione stato vs mercato è superata: sarà sempre necessario prevedere un mix dei due. In questa dialettica che difficilmente trova un equilibrio, spesso eventi dirompenti vengono a favorire pericolose estremizzazioni. Avendo acquisito un potere maggiore, a causa della globalizzazione, il mercato finirà per scontrarsi con i suoi limiti?

Il 1° gennaio 1958 nasce la Comunità economica europea, primo fondamentale passo verso l'Europa unita. Già nei primi anni '60 gli scambi commerciali fra paesi comunitari aumentano del 30% e nel periodo 1958-1970 raddoppiano percentualmente rispetto a quelli del commercio mondiale nel suo complesso. Le misure di liberalizzazione via via adottate hanno portato a una consistente espansione del commercio intracomunitario, che è giunto a toccare circa il 60% di tutti gli scambi della Comunità.

Tra gli economisti c'è chi pensa che il mercato sia in grado di risolvere tutti i problemi, ma tra la gente comune, i politici, gli intellettuali sono molti quelli che lo guardano con sospetto. In realtà il mercato è un meccanismo potente e insieme delicato che per funzionare bene e generare benessere e sviluppo ha bisogno di regole e istituzioni. Questo volume ne descrive e spiega il funzionamento a partire da esempi concreti della vita quotidiana per poi arricchire il quadro fino ad affrontare aspetti del commercio internazionale o problemi che vanno "oltre il mercato".

En temps de crise, l'économie est souvent accusée de tous les maux. Mais si au lieu de la diaboliser, nous revisitons son rôle dans la société ? On pense en général qu'elle ne crée que des biens. C'est oublier sa vocation première : créer du lien, comme le montrent les réseaux d'économie solidaire. On pense aussi qu'elle épuise autant les ressources naturelles que les individus et les sociétés. C'est négliger les nouvelles pistes qui sont à notre portée, sources d'une croissance centrée sur le vivre-ensemble.

Since 1946, Henry Hazlitt's best-selling Economics in One Lesson has popularized the belief that economics can be boiled down to one simple lesson: market prices represent the true cost of everything. But one-lesson economics tells only half the story. It can explain why markets often work so well, but it can't explain why they often fail so badly - or what we should do when they stumble. In Economics in Two Lessons, John Quiggin teaches both lessons, offering a masterful introduction to the key ideas behind the successes - and failures - of free markets.

Over the last four decades, debt, bankruptcy, and home foreclosures have risen to epidemic levels, and the personal savings rate has sunk dangerously low. Why, in the richest nation on Earth, can't Americans hold on to their money? First published in 2008, Stuart Vyse's Going Broke described the epidemic of personal debt that existed in the years leading up to the Great Recession and anticipated the home mortgage crisis that started it. Ten years later, this fully updated new edition tackles the post-recession era of economic recovery. 

American economic policy ranks as something between bad and disgraceful. As leading economist Alan S. Blinder argues, a crucial cultural divide separates economic and political civilizations. Economists and politicians often talk - and act - at cross purposes: politicians typically seek economists' "advice" only to support preconceived notions, not to learn what economists actually know or believe. Politicians naturally worry about keeping constituents happy and winning elections. Some are devoted to an ideology.

The bankruptcy of the investment bank Lehman Brothers was the pivotal event of the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed. Ever since the bankruptcy, there has been heated debate about why the Federal Reserve did not rescue Lehman in the same way it rescued other financial institutions, such as Bear Stearns and AIG. The Fed's leaders from that time, especially former Chairman Ben Bernanke, have strongly asserted that they lacked the legal authority to save Lehman because it did not have adequate collateral for the loan it needed to survive. 

 Misunderstanding Financial Crises offers a back-to-basics overview of financial crises and shows that they are not rare, idiosyncratic events caused by a perfect storm of unconnected factors. Instead, Gorton shows how financial crises are, indeed, inherent to our financial system.  

Joel Bakan's book is a brilliantly argued account of the corporation's pathological pursuit of profit and power. An eminent law professor and legal theorist, Bakan contends that the corporation is created by law to function much like a psychopathic personality whose destructive behavior, if left unchecked, leads to scandal and ruin. Despite the structural failings found in the corporation, Bakan believes change is possible and outlines a far-reaching program of concrete, pragmatic, and realistic reforms through legal regulation and democratic control.

The COVID-19 pandemic has unleashed a firehose of information (much of it wrong) and an avalanche of opinions (many of them ill-founded). Most of us are so distracted by the everyday awfulness that we don't see the broader issues in play. In this book, economist Joshua Gans steps back from the short-term chaos to take a clear and systematic look at how economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19. He shows that containing the virus and pausing the economy are the necessary first steps.  

To modern Western society, capitalism is the air we breathe, and most people rarely think to question it, for good or for ill. But knowing what makes capitalism work - and what makes it fail - is crucial to understanding its long-term health and the vast implications for the global economy that go along with it. 

In Divested, Ken-Hou Lin and Megan Tobias Neely document how the ascendance of finance on Wall Street, Main Street, and among households is a fundamental cause of economic inequality. They argue that finance has reshaped the economy in three important ways. First, the financial sector extracts resources from the economy at large without providing commensurate economic benefits to those outside the financial services industry.

The Infinite Desire for Growth spotlights the obsession with wanting more, and the global tensions that have arisen as a result. Amid finite resources, increasing populations, environmental degradation, and political unrest, the quest for new social and individual goals has never been so critical. Leading economist Daniel Cohen provides a whirlwind tour of the history of economic growth, from the early days of civilization to modern times, underscoring what is so unsettling today.

Why are measures of stress and anxiety on the rise when economists and politicians tell us we have never had it so good? While statistics tell us that the vast majority of people are getting steadily richer, the world most of us experience day in and day out feels increasingly uncertain, unfair, and ever more expensive. In Angrynomics, Eric Lonergan and Mark Blyth explore the rising tide of anger, sometimes righteous and useful, sometimes destructive and ill-targeted, and propose radical new solutions for an increasingly polarized and confusing world.  

 Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism (1917), by Vladimir Lenin, describes the function of financial capital in generating profits from imperialist colonialism as the final stage of capitalist development to ensure greater profits. The essay is a synthesis of Lenin's modifications and developments of economic theories that Karl Marx formulated in Das Kapital (1867). 

Las estrategias de cambio son un requisito indispensable para competir en el siglo XXI.
