International Finance

Greider explains the dynamics of the global economy in terms of human struggle. As he makes clear, the actions of multinational corporations and finance capitalists are no longer guided by the national interests of their home countries, but by the imperatives of the free market. As the global economy's contradictions multiply and its instabilities deepen, are we doomed to relive the world depression and the rise of violent fascism experienced in the early 20th century?

In this book, Patrick Bolton and Haizhou Huang offer a novel perspective, viewing monetary economics through the lens of corporate finance. They propose a richer theory, where money can be seen as the equity capital of a nation, playing a similar role as stocks for a company. This innovative framework integrates the real and monetary sides of the economy, with a banking sector and debt at its core.

Why is it that only a handful of people end up with most of the world’s money, while the rest have to fight over scraps? It’s a problem that has puzzled many… and unfortunately, even money can’t solve it. In fact, the solution is an even bigger problem that most people never bother to pay attention to. And it all comes down to having the right beliefs about money… beliefs that let you welcome wealth into your life. Schools don’t teach this, nor do most financial experts, who are only focused on the “technical” side of things.

A spirited and incisive survey of economic geography, A World Made for Money begins with the author stopped at a red light in Norman, Oklahoma. Observing the landscape of drugstores and banks, and for that matter the stoplight and roads themselves, Bret Wallach observes, "Everything I see has been built to make money" or, at the very least, to facilitate making money. This, he argues, is a global phenomenon that nonetheless has occurred only within the past hundred years or so.

Die Finanzkrise 2008 erschütterte die Grundfesten unseres Finanzsystems. Die monetären, die sozialen und die politischen Auswirkungen spüren wir bis heute. Die beispiellosen Rettungsorgien von EZB & Co. sowie ein historisch einmaliges Notenbankexperiment dauerhafter Nullzinsen enteignen Sparer, Kleinanleger und Versicherungsnehmer. Eine gigantische Steuer- und Abgabenlast raubt der Mittelschicht jeden finanziellen Spielraum. Parallel wird neuerdings noch über Enteignungen nachgedacht - und diese werden kommen.

The wildest story in the world these days is not fiction; it's what's really happening all around us as the world's global economy has gone into freefall. How did we get here? What does it all mean? How could so many smart people be so dumb and believe their own hype? Accessibly, cleverly, and with mordant humor, journalist John Lanchester trots the globe in search of the answers to these questions.

When Charles P. Kindleberger's Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises was first published in 1978, the world was entering a new period of global economic turbulence. Established economists based their analyses on the assumption that investors act rationally, and these economists often communicated their ideas with dry, technical language. Kindleberger rebelled against convention. Using a more literary and descriptive style, he came up with a new view.

Friedman did not just demonstrate that monetary policy plays a vital role in broader economic stability. He also argued that economists got their monetary policy wrong in the 1950s and 1960s by misunderstanding the relationship between inflation and unemployment. In Friedman's view, previous generations of economists had no justification for believing that governments could permanently decrease unemployment by allowing inflation - and vice versa.

Facebook, one of the world’s biggest social media platforms, has become such a force to be reckoned with in the recent past that it will be launching a cryptocurrency known as Libra that is meant to empower billions of people who do not have bank accounts and could benefit greatly from the use of this currency. This is a game changer, and you need to realign yourself if you want to tap into what Facebook seeks to achieve.

What if we could hit the reset button on the way we create money, work, commerce, and community? This is not an idle question, for technology now enables us to hit that reset button and organize the creation of money, work, commerce, and community in new ways. If we could start from scratch, what would a new system look like? To answer that, we must understand why the current system is failing. The current system is based on five principles that are assumed to be true.

Hiroshi Mikitani, founder of e-commerce giant Rakuten, has seen the next battleground in the fight for the future of the Internet. Today's major e-commerce players are quietly building borderless platforms that are overturning the global brick-and-mortar model, and changing the way local businesses think about their customers. But is this good or bad? Rejecting the zero-sum model practiced by some global retailers, who view the Internet purely as a facilitator of speed and profit, Mikitani argues for an alternate model....

Standort Deutschland ist ein Hort von trägen, selbstzufriedenen Besitzstandwahrern, diagnostiziert ein Chor von Experten und verlangt, dass wir so mobil, flexibel und risikobereit wie die Amerikaner werden. Alles ist auf dem Prüfstand: der Sozialstaat, die Gewerkschaften, unsere Stabilitätskultur, unsere Ordnungspolitik. Alles Unsinn, sagt Detlef Gürtler und fordert Schluss mit dem Gejammer über vermeintliche Schwächen, die in Wahrheit unsere Stärken sind. Detlef Gürtler, Jahrgang 1964, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin, Marbella und Rüschlikon bei Zürich.
