For et par hundrede år siden sker der noget afgørende i menneskets historie. Lige pludselig bliver vores levealder fordoblet og velstanden stiger eksplosivt. Op til da levede de fleste mennesker gennem tusindvis af år et liv, der kunne sammenlignes med deres forfædre. En landmand i begyndelsen af det 16. århundrede havde stort set samme levevilkår som en egyptisk landmand for 5.000 år siden eller en hyrde i Jeriko for 11.000 siden.Hvad forklarer den næsten utænkelig forvandling af livskvaliteten både hvad angår sundhed, rigdom og uddannelse? En ændring, der totalt overgår alt andet siden fremkomsten af homo sapiens.I DA MENNESKEHEDEN BLEV TIL tager den anerkendte økonomiprofessor Oded Galor os med ud på en rejse fra menneskehedens tidlige eksistens og frem til i dag. Han undersøger hvorfor mennesket er den eneste art, som nyder en levestandard, der langt overstiger andre arter. Samtidig går han i dybden med, hvorfor vi alligevel ser så megen ulighed verden over.

The Wealth of Nations offers one of the first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth, and is a fundamental work in classical economics. Smith explores such broad topics as the division of labour, productivity, and free markets.

Bogen analyserer deegenskaber, der har gjort bitcoins enorme vækst muligt, og kiggernærmere bitcoins økonomiske, politiske og sociale betydning.Læseren vil få indsigt i hvad der adskiller bitcoin fra de over 10.000 kopierder er fulgt efter, og hvorfor bitcoin ikke kan kopieres ellerkontrolleres.Siden forfatter Saifedean Ammous sendte bogen på gaden i 2018, er den udgivet på 30 forskellige sprog, og er etableret som det vigtigste litteræreværk for de, der vil forstå bitcoin.

In response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the US Federal Reserve and central banks worldwide have deployed tools that past policymakers and economists might have considered radical. Programmes like large-scale securities purchases and a new policy framework remain a source of confusion for investors, journalists and ordinary citizens alike.Twenty-First Century Monetary Policy demystifies these opaque techniques to reveal how economic ideas, historical events and political forces have transformed the Fed's policies over several decades. From the stagflation of the 1970s to the Great Recession and the recent pandemic, Ben S. Bernanke masterfully examines how the Fed's policies-and the institution itself-may change as it grapples with persistently low interest rates, systemic financial risk, rapid technological change and polarised politics. With unparalleled depth of expertise and robust historical sweep, Twenty-First Century Monetary Policy is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding modern finance, investments or US economic policy.

Where does money come from? This provocative question lies at the heart of a compelling narrative that delves into the intricate world of finance and governance. The book exposes the absolute monopoly held by governments in the creation of money, a process often shrouded in mystery and misconception. It reveals how governments, regardless of their form - be it empires, kingdoms, democracies, dictatorships, or other structures - have historically manipulated the money creation process. The narrative unfolds to show how governments, under the guise of independence, instruct central banks to generate money, thereby profiting the government at the expense of its citizens. This deception is likened to historical practices where Kings and Emperors debased precious metal coins for personal gain. In today's digital age, the technique has evolved, but the essence remains the same: governments create money digitally and introduce it as an unrepayable debt, effectively siphoning value and wealth from the populace. This insightful book not only uncovers the hidden mechanics of monetary systems but also sheds light on the real losers in this game: everyday individuals like you and me. It's a revealing exploration of how financial systems and governmental policies intertwine, impacting the wealth and well-being of global citizens.

"Was inflation's recent spike exacerbated by corporate greed? Do rent controls really help the needy? Are U.S. health care prices set in a Wild West marketplace? Do women get paid less than men for the same work, and do they pay more than men for the same products? The War on Prices is an eye-opening book that answers all these burning questions and more, as top economists debunk popular misconceptions about inflation, prices, and value. Market prices are under siege. The war on prices is waged most obviously with damaging government price controls and the harmful effects of central bank monetary mismanagement, as we saw with the recent inflation. Yet these bad policies are propped up by widespread, misguided public beliefs about the causes of inflation, the effects of price controls, and the inherent morality of market prices. Breaking down these complex issues into three distinct sections -- inflation, price controls, and value -- this book both sheds light on long-standing contentions and brings economic theory and evidence to bear in today's most contentious debates. Threaded through the book is a revealing truth: too many of us misunderstand the origin, role, and worth of market prices in our economy. The old insult goes that 'economists know the price of everything and the value of nothing.' The War on Prices shows that good economists -- and soon, you -- can appreciate the value of unshackled market prices in delivering prosperity."--

The Pursuit of HappinessIn our modern society, the pursuit of happiness is a topic that resonates with everyone, irrespective of age, background, or financial status. Happiness is a fundamental human desire, something we all strive for in our lives. However, there is an ongoing debate about whether money can truly buy happiness. In this subchapter, we will explore the complex relationship between money and happiness, and how financial success can contribute to finding true joy in life.Many people believe that money is the key to happiness, as it provides access to material possessions, experiences, and opportunities. There is no denying that financial security can alleviate stress and make life more comfortable. It allows us to fulfill our basic needs, provide for our families, and pursue our dreams. However, the pursuit of happiness should not be solely focused on accumulating wealth. True joy comes from a deeper sense of fulfillment, purpose, and meaningful relationships.While money can enhance certain aspects of our lives, it is important to recognize that happiness is not solely dependent on material possessions. Research suggests that beyond a certain income threshold, the correlation between money and happiness becomes weaker. Once our basic needs are met, additional wealth does not necessarily lead to greater happiness. Instead, it is the quality of our relationships, our personal growth, and our ability to contribute to something larger than ourselves that truly bring lasting happiness.In this subchapter, we will delve into the concept of financial success and its impact on happiness. We will explore the various factors that contribute to a fulfilling life, including finding our passion, cultivating gratitude, and practicing mindfulness. We will also discuss the importance of balance and the dangers of excessive focus on wealth accumulation.Ultimately, the pursuit of happiness is a multifaceted journey that goes beyond the acquisition of wealth. It involves aligning our financial goals with our values, finding a sense of purpose, and nurturing our overall well-being. By understanding the limitations of money in creating lasting happiness, we can focus on cultivating the aspects of life that truly bring us joy.Join us in this subchapter as we explore the intricate relationship between money and happiness, and discover how to find true joy in financial success. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer in the notion that money can buy happiness, this chapter will provide valuable insights and practical strategies for achieving a more fulfilling life.

The first English translation of Friedrich von Wieser's concluding work in economics, unifying his socio-historical investigation into the nature of 'power' and 'monetary theory,' complementing Knapp and Max Weber.An unexpected encounter - a key figure in the Great Triumvirate that founded the Austrian School of Economics incorporates Keynesian elements into his theory of money. His works "exhibit some of the major features of Keynes's analysis in 'A Treatise on Money,' namely the existence of an endogenous money supply, the dominant role of the banking system in the process of money creation, the distinction between the circulation of national income and of capital, and the role of individual and social beliefs in explaining the levels of economic variables" (Richard Arena & Neri Salvadori).Similar to Georg Simmel's perspective, Wieser argues that as money gains universal recognition and acceptance as a general equivalent due to the 'mass habit of acceptance,' it transforms into a 'social power' that binds people. The power it holds evolves, becoming stronger than the initial power of the 'wise individual' who introduced it or the public imitating him. Therefore, in this sense, the ultimate form of money is not merely the outcome of the efforts of those who initially brought it into existence. Money is a historical-societal formation, wielding supremacy over people and intricately intertwined with power relationships. It serves as a means of transfer payment, facilitating the transfer of 'market-rulership.'"Why is Wieser neglected in the Austrian Revival? Perhaps because economic theorists and policy makers in many countries have again become very interested in the possibilities of the market and in the applicability of the quantity theory of money - whereas Wieser was critical of both. Or perhaps because Wieser advocated an alliance of economics and sociology (...) Wieser's work displays at least two distinguishing features: (1) his endeavour to demonstrate economic theory as a coherent whole: he wanted to be a "hedgehog", not a "fox"; (2) his endeavour to demonstrate there is no coherence - in the sense of "harmony" - in capitalism (M.H.J. Dullaart)."Wieser bridged the ideas of Menger and Veblen" (Robert B. Jr. Ekelund)."Wieser is to be compared with Pareto, Schumpeter, Weber, Werner Sombart, and, more recently, John Kenneth Galbraith." (Warren Samuels).

Diese biographische Studie nimmt das Leben Walter Euckens in den Blick, eines der bedeutendsten Ökonomen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er hat mit Kollegen aus der Rechtswissenschaft die Tradition der Freiburger Ordnungsökonomik begründet. Seine Erkenntnisse zu den Funktionsbedingungen einer freiheitlichen Wirtschafts- und Sozialordnung, die Wettbewerb und Menschenwürde in den Mittelpunkt stellt, wurden ideelle Grundlage für die Soziale Marktwirtschaft in Deutschland. Dieses Lebensbild Euckens stützt sich auf einen beträchtlichen Teil seiner nachgelassenen Korrespondenz. "das verdienstvolle, ebenfalls lesenswerte Buch der Ökonomin Wendula Gräfin von Klinckowstroem [...]. Kaum zu glauben, aber wahr: Dies ist die erste Eucken-Biographie überhaupt [...]. Die langjährige Mitarbeiterin am Walter Eucken Institut in Freiburg stellt die prägenden Einflüsse und Stationen in Euckens Leben dar und hat dafür eine Fülle von Quellen akribisch ausgewertet. Eucken erscheint auch hier in allen seinen Bezügen - nicht nur den familiären und den ökonomisch-fachlichen, sondern auch den künstlerischen, den philosophischen und den religiösen. Die Autorin [...] betont, es handele sich bei ihrem Werk nicht um eine intellektuelle Biographie, doch sie liefert durchaus eine Menge nützlichen wissenschaftlichen Hintergrunds."
