Enorm rigdom og magt er i dag koncentreret i nye markeder, hvor overvågning af og forudsigelser om vores adfærd bliver købt og solgt. Shoshana Zuboff betegner fænomenet overvågningskapitalisme og kalder det for en lige så stor omvæltning af den menneskelige tilværelse i dag, som den industrielle revolution var det i det 20. århundrede. Der er tale om en hidtil uset magtkonstellation karakteriseret ved ekstreme koncentrationer af viden uden demokratisk tilsyn – og prisen er vores frihed. Med begrænset modstand fra lovgivning og samfund truer overvågningskapitalismen vores nutid og vil dominere vores fremtid – hvis vi tillader det. Anmeldelser “Læs den – den er fremragende!” ★★★★★★ - Altinget ”Det hidtil mest ambitiøse forsøg på at tegne det store billede og forklare baggrunden for digitaliseringens følger, som vi oplever dem som individer og som samfundsborgere ... En fortsættelse af traditionen fra Adam Smith, Max Weber, Karl Polanyi og – tør man sige det – Karl Marx.” – The Observer ”En tilbundsgående researchet, fængende skrevet fortælling om overvågningskapitalismens opståen og dens skadelige virkninger for vores samfund... – New York Times Book Review ”... alle bør læse denne bog som et digitalt selvforsvar. Med stort klarsyn og moralsk mod demonstrerer Zuboff ikke alene, hvordan vores hjerner støvsuges for data, men også hvordan de ændres undervejs, hurtigt og radikalt.” – Naomi Klein, forfatter til Intet bliver som før og No Logo Om forfatteren Shoshana Zuboff er amerikansk socialpsykolog, filosof og professor emerita på Harvard Business School samt ekspert i den digitale revolution. Hun har udgivet en lang række bøger i spændingsfeltet mellem teknologi, psykologi, filosofi og økonomi, og i 1988 skrev hun The age of the Smart Machine: the Future of Work and Power, som blev et skelsættende hovedværk om computeriseringen af vores arbejde og liv.

Økonomer forstår alt – undtagen kapitalismen. Sådan lyder det fra cand.polit. Karen Helveg Petersen. I 'Rentekapitalismen' undersøger hun, hvad der driver det kapitalistiske verdenssystem fremad, de politiske institutioners rolle i processen og om globaliseringen er ved at være nået en grænse i vækstens og profitjagtens navn.Den kapitalistiske økonomi har muliggjort frihed fra tvang og materiel nød, men bliver ved med at trampe naturgrundlaget og autonome sociale strukturer under fode og skabe nye former for fattigdom og elendighed.Helveg Petersen ser på den moderne, globale kapitalisme, og hun giver et indblik i den moderne imperialistiske situation: Råvarer hentes i Det Globale Syd, industriproduktionen er flyttet til Øst- og Sydasien, og de vestlige konsumsamfund bæres oppe af stadig mere hektiske finansmarkeder.Med udgangspunkt i klassisk-marxistiske grundbegreber analyserer Karen Helveg-Petersen de modsætninger og kriser, der driver det kapitalistiske verdenssystem fremad, og de politiske institutioners rolle i processen.Karl Marx' og John Maynard Keynes' teorier kombineres med neoklassisk teori og stilles kritisk op mod hinanden. Og forfatteren dykker ned i, hvordan de økonomiske hovedskoler begriber den virkelighed, de er sat i verden for at forklare og forudsige.Første del gennemgår konkrete udviklingstendenser i verden – ikke kun i Vesten. Anden del behandler grundbegreber i økonomisk teori, vare, værdi, pris, penge og kapital i alle dens mange former. Tredje del stiller skarpt på, hvordan grundrente, prisfastsætning på jord og naturressourcer kan forstås i sammenhæng ud fra arbejdsværditeorien. Fjerde og sidste del diskuterer krisen i 2007-2008 som et finansielt udtryk for underliggende dårligdomme, modsætninger i ’realøkonomien’ samt den nye imperialisme, hvor Vesten dominerer verdens produktion og råstofudvinding og skaber marginalisering og arbejdsløshed.Bogen giver en troværdig forbindelse mellem teori og virkelighed. Målet er – forhåbentlig – at bibringe læseren en bedre forståelse af det kapitalistiske samfund.Karen Helveg Petersen er ph.d. i økonomi fra State University of New York og har haft talrige konsulentopgaver i energi og offentlige finanser i ikke mindst Afrika. Hun har tidligere undervist på RUC samt været programrådgiver for FN’s Udviklingsprogram i Kenya, EU’s udviklingsprogram i Congo-Brazzaville og Den Interamerikanske Udviklingsbank.

Explains why the environmental crisis should lead to an abandonment of "free market" ideologies and current political systems, arguing that a massive reduction of greenhouse emissions may offer a best chance for correcting problems.

Økonomisk videnskabsteori for erhvervsjurister er en overordnet fremstilling af det metodologiske og videnskabsteoretiske grundlag for økonomi. Bogen består af tre dele. Del I. Virksomhedsteori, industriøkonomi og metode giver en ramme til at analysere de enkelte forskningstraditioner og forskellene mellem disse. Her analyseres en række af de vigtiste nyere forskningstraditioner som neoklassisk teori, behavioralismen, manegerialismen, transaktionsomkostningsteorien, m.fl. Afslutningsvis diskuteres betydningen af udviklingen i virksomhedsteori og industriøkonomi for erhvervsøkonomi og nationaløkonomi.Del II. Økonomisk videnskabsteori giver en grundig indføring i de forskellige økonomiske metodologier, der siden 1920'erne har præget opfattelsen af økonomisk forskning. Her følger en gennemgang og vurdering af økonomiske metodologier som induktivismen, den logiske empirisme, den moderate empirisme, instrumentalismen vs. realismen, falsifikationismen, forskningsprogram-metodologien samt Thomas Kuhns teori om paradigmer og videnskabelige revolutioner.Del III. Om forklaringer og forklaringstyper i økonomisk teori præsenterer, hvad en forklaring er og hvilke typer af forklaringsmodeller, som benyttes indenfor økonomisk teori. Foruden ligevægtsmodeller diskuteres funktionelle-adaptive forklaringer samt procesmodeller. Bogen afsluttes med et opsummerende kapitel om, hvordan man orienterer sig i det erhvervsøkonomiske univers. Bogen samler en række centrale kapitler fra værket Økonomisk metodologi bind 1-2, der her suppleres med et nyt kapitel. Kapitlerne er skrevet af Christian Knudsen og redigeret af Lasse Henningsen med særligt henblik på pensum på HA(jur.)- og cand.merc.(jur.)-uddannelserne.Christian Knudsen er forhenværende professor ved CBS og tidligere ekstern lektor i økonomisk metodologi ved Økonomisk Institut på Københavns Universitet.Lasse Henningsen er tidligere adjunkt og nu ekstern lektor ved Institut for Business Humaniora og Jura på CBS og underviser bl.a i økonomisk videnskabsteori.

Chinäs economic achievements laid solid foundations for RMB's international standing. By the end of 2022, China accounted for 18.6% of the global economy and 14.4% of world exports.However, there is a huge gap between the yuan¿s growing prominence and its global use. RMB remains underutilized compared to the U.S. dollar. This book attempts to fill this gap from the view of the systemic importance of the RMB exchange rate, an angle that could be easily overlooked. We argue that pricing is too important to be relegated to an afterthought. The change of RMB exchange rate could have a systemic impact on the global financial system. Furthermore, we present substantial evidence that RMB is gaining importance globally and regionally as an anchor currency and safe-haven currency, indicating that RMB is becoming systemically important despite its relatively limited international use.It is important to understand in depth that the force that has helped fuel Chinäs rapid economic growth over the past few decades has been globalization and that market reform and opening up are the pillars of RMB internationalization. Currently, the new trends of anti-globalization and de-financialization have emerged. The global monetary and financial system must be reframed according to the financial needs of socially sustainable activities to prevent systemic instability and system-wide economic/social catastrophes. Against this backdrop, further internationalization of RMB should serve the real sectors in high-quality economic development.

Welche Anforderungen werden an eine robuste und gesellschaftlich anerkennenswerte Soziale Arbeit gestellt, die in ihrer wissenschaftlichen Disziplin, in der Anschlussfähigkeit ihrer Theorien und in der Anerkennung ihrer Profession überzeugt und dabei noch in sich konsistent ist? Im internationalen Vergleich der Theoriebestände und praktischen Bezüge von Sozialer Arbeit herrscht eine große Diversität und Vielfalt, die sich durch unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche und nationalstaatliche Makro-Bedingungen herausgebildet haben.Gleichzeitig globalisieren sich die Krisen wie Kriege, Pandemien, Klimawandel, Armut und Hunger in einer beschleunigten Weise, welche eher eine pragmatische Theoriebildung und Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit im Sinne von globalen Wohlergehen und Menschenrechten herausfordert. In einer neuen und beschleunigten Anpassungsdynamik reagiert Soziale Arbeit eher darauf, als dass sie selbständig agiert.Kritischer Rationalismus, kritische Gesellschaftstheorie und ethische Orientierung der Sozialen Arbeit werden gerade im internationalen Kontext unter dem Einfluss neuer und schwer überschaubarer globaler Krisen und Herausforderungen noch stärker gefragt werden. In diesem Sammelband werden Beiträge von Autorinnen und Autoren zusammengestellt, die die möglichen Zukunftsperspektiven der Sozialen Arbeit erhellen sollen.

Examining economic growth through the lens of poverty, social exclusion, and economic inequality, Harold Delfin Angulo Bustinza offers an econometric analysis of the effects of international trade between Peru and China, which has seen an average annual growth of 22% over the past two decades.China thus plays a key role in Peru's economic growth, whether in imports of primary goods, exports of capital and consumer goods, or direct investment. However, income and wealth inequality in Peru have not improved over the years. Even so, it has been found that growth in international trade between the two countries has the potential to positively benefit Peru's inclusive economic growth.With global development still on the rise, it is pivotal for us to ensure that all actors of society can benefit from that development, and not just the most privileged. Advocating for the importance of promoting openness in trade, International Trade and Inclusive Economic Growth highlights China and Peru's unique relationship to prioritize fair and equitable growth for all.

This book aims to investigate the global value chain (GVC) from a viewpoint of industrial development and examine how GVC participation, upgrading, and connectivity have affected structural transformation in developing economies. It first reviews the indexes to measure progresses in GVC participation and upgrading. Then it examines factors affecting these progresses, using original measures of connectivity, which are computed based on the complex network theory. Another distinguished feature of the study is its in-depth analyses on the relationship between economic development and GVC participation based on the hypothesis of nonlinear relationship which is drawn from authors past studies on Asian economies. Major findings include (1) inverted-U shaped relationship between backward participation and income levels, (2) U shaped relationship between forward participation and income level, (3) marginal but significant impacts of maritime and aviation connectivity on GVC participation, (4) significant and different roles of basic and advanced education on the upgrading in GVCs, and (5) the importance of technological intensities in export in sustaining economic growth.
