Claus Jensen – formand for Dansk Metal – er udnævnt til Danmarks mest magtfulde mand, den person i Danmark, der har mest indflydelse på dansk økonomi og arbejdsmarked.Det stod ikke svejset i jern, at Claus Jensen skulle befinde sig i midt i magten. Fra sit middelklassehjem på Fyn fulgte han i sin far og farfars fodspor og blev som tusindvis af andre unge mænd uddannet smed på Odense Stålskibsværft.Han var hverken optændt af en faglig flamme eller politisk ideologi, men en blanding nysgerrighed, evner og tilfældigheder gjorde, at han kom ind i fagbevægelsen. Her arbejdede han sig op, og i 2012 overtog han posten som formand for Dansk Metal. Og med den post følger magt. Meget magt. ?Claus Jensen er en uomgængelig person, når der skal træffes store beslutninger i det politiske og organisatoriske Danmark. Han er som hovedforhandler for 600.000 privatansatte en central figur på det danske arbejdsmarked, og som medlem af et væld af råd, nævn, kommissioner og bestyrelser er hans netværk og indflydelse enestående i dansk erhvervsliv.?Modsat sin magt, netværk og indflydelse er metalformanden med det pæredanske navn dog langt fra en person, der vækker genkendelse i den brede befolkning.Men det burde han. Bogen her er Martin Flinks historie om ham.

¿ni¿leri ve ç¿k¿¿lar¿yla, dün yapt¿klar¿n¿ bugün bozmalar¿yla, dudak uçuklatan bäar¿ ve bäar¿s¿zl¿k hikâyeleriyle Türkiye, gerçekten de dünyada e¿ine ender rastlanan zengin bir sosyal bilim laboratuvar¿d¿r. Bir bakm¿¿s¿n¿z ¿aha kalkm¿¿ bir Türkiye, bir de bakm¿¿s¿n¿z tökezleyen, aksayan bir Türkiye. Bir dönem özene bezene in¿a etti¿i kurumlar¿ ertesi dönem kendi eliyle darmadä¿n eden, U dönü¿leri yapan, zikzaklar çizen bir Türkiye. Bä¿na gelenleri kendi hatalar¿n¿n bile¿ik sonucu olarak görmekten ziyade, envai çe¿it komplo teorileriyle suçu sürekli bäkalar¿nda, d¿¿ mihraklarda arayan bir Türkiye..Bu çerçevede elinizdeki kitap Türkiye ekonomisinin son yirmi y¿ll¿k maceras¿n¿n, dörular¿ ve yanl¿¿lar¿yla, art¿lar¿ ve eksileriyle ele¿tirel bir de¿erlendirmesini yapmaktad¿r. Türkiye'nin 2000'li y¿llardaki serüvenine bir bäar¿ hikâyesi denebilir mi? Hem evet, hem hay¿r! Nas¿l yani, demeyin; buras¿ Türkiye, ¿öyle istikrar içinde bir elli y¿l, yok öyle! 2001 ekonomik kriziyle dibi gördükten sonra 2002 ile bälay¿p 2013'te zirveyi bulan ¿ahlanma süreci kesinlikle Türkiye için bir bäar¿ hikâyesidir. GSYH'n¿n ve ki¿i bä¿na gelirin yaklä¿k dört kat¿na ç¿kt¿¿¿, büyüme h¿z¿n¿n artt¿¿¿, enflasyonun tek haneli rakamlara dü¿ürüldü¿ü, dörudan yabanc¿ sermaye yat¿r¿mlar¿n¿n Cumhuriyet tarihinin rekorlar¿n¿ k¿rd¿¿¿, Türk paras¿n¿n de¿er kazand¿¿¿ ve reel faizlerin geriledi¿i bir dönem gerçekten de bir bäar¿ hikâyesidir.Ya 2013 sonras¿ döneme, yani mevcut iktidar¿n ikinci on y¿ll¿k icraat döneminin ekonomik performans¿na ne demeli? Bu dönemdeki performans¿n bir bäar¿ hikâyesi olmad¿¿¿ kesindir. Bugün GSYH da, ki¿i bä¿na gelir de 2013 y¿l¿n¿n çok gerisindedir; enflasyon rekor seviyede yüksektir; 2021 d¿¿¿nda büyüme h¿z¿ son on y¿ld¿r sürekli yavälamaktad¿r; TL rekor seviyede de¿er kaybetmi¿tir; makro göstergelerin çöu on y¿l öncesinden kötü durumdad¿r.Türkiye'nin yükseli¿inden pek hazzetmeyen d¿¿ güçlerin varl¿¿¿na küku yoktur; ama unutmamal¿ ki bäar¿ hikâyesinin yaz¿ld¿¿¿ ilk on y¿lda da ayn¿ güçler vard¿. O halde kabahati sürekli d¿¿ güçlerde arama kolayc¿l¿¿¿ndan vazgeçmekte yarar vard¿r. Türkiye'nin as¿l meselesi siyasi ve ekonomik istikrard¿r; hukuk devleti ve adaletle ilgili sorunlard¿r; belirsizli¿in ve risklerin yüksekli¿idir; öngörülebilirli¿in olmamas¿d¿r; yat¿r¿m ortam¿n¿n kötülü¿üdür; liyakatten sap¿lmas¿d¿r; denge ve fren mekanizmalar¿ olmayan Bäkanl¿k sisteminin keyfiliklere kap¿ aral¿yor olmas¿d¿r; iç siyasi gerilimin yüksekli¿idir; sälam para, denk bütçe, fiyat istikrar¿ gibi konularda uygulanan, iktisad¿n evrensel yasalar¿na ayk¿r¿ ekonomi politikalar¿d¿r. E¿er gerçekten dünyan¿n on büyük ekonomisinden biri olmak istiyorsa, Türkiye "çuvald¿z¿ bäkalar¿na bat¿rmadan i¿neyi kendine bizlemeli" ve bu sorunlarla yüzle¿melidir.

This book explores the causes of rising income inequality within industrialised, developing, and emerging economies. The development of finance capitalism over the last 40 years is charted to highlight how the neoliberal restructuring of national and global economies has driven income inequality. With case studies from the USA, South Korea, Argentina, and Sweden, a comparative analysis is presented to reveal how financialisation facilitates uneven capital accumulation and generates conditions that increase income inequality.This book aims to outline an analytical framework for a financialisation-induced income inequality nexus. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the political economy and financial economics.

Yorkshire 2035 - The New assembly, is the final book in The Yorkshire Trilogy, completing the journey from feasibility study (Yorkshire, The Case For Independence), through gaining a degree of recognition (Yorkshire 2027, A Strategy For Tomorrow) to finally achieving influence. The book picks up from 2027, a time when the ruling party's majority was slim and they were either over-ruled on new legislation or proved themselves quite incapable of managing a collapsing economy, artificial intelligence and crumbling infrastructure. The political cycle was turning from a period of negative decisions (you can't do that) and excessive documentation (we have a plan - several plans) to a time when experimentation, innovation and novelty at last escaped from the bottle and a new period of positive activity began - and now with Yorkshire at the forefront. The story is of Yorkshire rising above the chaos and ineptitude of Westminster to create its own assembly, a written constitution and a local currency; activities that served as the foundation stones of a system that embraced and developed a vibrant and challenging future. A movement that restored dignity, liberty and freedom to the people of Yorkshire - at last shaking off a detached elite, languishing some 200 miles away in London. Join in. Enjoy.

The only alternative to capitalism is socialism. The first attempt to organize a non-capitalist, proportionally developing economy in the direction of a prosperous future was made by the USSR. The historical analysis of the development of the economic policy of the USSR from war communism to the NEP and then to the course of industrialization shows how the country, gradually accumulating a balanced experience in economic planning, moved to use the method of successive approximations (iterations) to the drawing up of plans. It's most important principles are consideration of feedback in the process of coordinating planned calculations "input-output" and rolling planning (adjustment of planned calculations online). Thanks to this, in essence, cybernetic planning of the economy, the USSR won the Second World War and became the power of the bipolar world, determining the vector of global development.Just as the introduction of machines at one time meant the first industrial revolution affirming capitalism, so the introduction of the economic robot will mean the second industrial revolution, affirming socialism, without the possibility of capitalist restoration."

Die in ihrer Radikalität seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg nicht mehr erfahrenen Krisen und deren Neuheit und Gefährdungspotenzial motivieren eine Suche nach einem vertiefenden und verändernden Umgang mit der Wirtschaft.Stefan Schleicher, Professor an der Karl-Franzens-Universität in Graz, offeriert unter "Wirtschaft neu denken" eine Einladung, dafür gemeinsam zukunftsfähige Spuren zu legen.Robert Coen, Professor an der Northwestern University, unterstützt diese Suche aus der Perspektive eines Amerikaners.Tex Rubinowitz liefert für diese Suche hintergründige Cartoons.Die Spurensuche erfolgt in mehreren Dimensionen. Die inhaltliche Basis liefern vom Autor verfasste Kolumnen für die Wiener Zeitung, wodurch eine enge Verbindung mit der Praxis der Wirtschaftspolitik seit 2020 entsteht. Die dazu erstellten faktenbasierten Analysen sind innovativ, sowohl hinsichtlich der gewählten Daten als auch deren leicht zugänglichen Aufbereitung.Zusätzliche Aufmerksamkeit provozieren die begleitenden Cartoons. Die unter "Wirtschaft neu denken" gelegten Spuren verweisen auf neue Bausteine für ein vertieftes Verständnis der Wirtschaft, auf die notwendigen Updates für die Konzepte der Wirtschaftspolitik, auf Tests für deren Praxis, auf ein neues Verständnis für den Umgang mit dem Klimaproblem, sowie auf die Notwendigkeit eines Reset für den Umgang mit Energie.

Dieser Open-Access-Sammelband zeigt, wie innovative Forschung und Lehre in der Volkswirtschaftslehre zu einer besseren Gesellschaft beitragen können. Eine Wirtschaftspolitik mit Ziel und Plan sollte auf rigorosem theoretischem Fundament stehen und sich auf verlässliche empirische Evidenz stützen. Damit die Forschung Wirkung entfalten kann, müssen die Forscher die neuesten Erkenntnisse in eine populäre Sprache übersetzen, damit sie einer breiten und nicht spezialisierten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich werden. Wähler und Entscheidungsträger der Politik können von den Ergebnissen der Forschung nur profitieren, wenn diese in nicht-technischer Sprache zugänglich sind. Die Aufgaben der Universitäten sind Forschung, Lehre und Information der Öffentlichkeit. Im Projekt "Next Generation" fassen die besten Masterstudierenden der Universität St. Gallen politikrelevante Ergebnisse der volkswirtschaftlichen Forschung populär zusammen. Mit diesem "Readers Digest" der Ökonomie leisten sie einen wichtigenBeitrag zur dritten Mission der Universität.

In light of the resurgence of inflation in developed industrialised countries following a period of inordinately low inflation, this book analyses the causes and devastating effects of inflation by drawing lessons from the past. Focusing on the German hyperinflation of the 1920s and the inflationary waves of the 1970s, it examines the resulting economic crises and their influence on the subsequent periods of social and political turmoil, namely the fascism of the 1930s and the neoliberal revolution of the 1980s. Featuring five detailed case studies on inflationary waves in various countries in the 1970s, the book identifies economic policy errors of the past, seeking to prevent their recurrence. Offering empirical and theoretical insights alike, the authors present strategies for effectively combating inflation and deflation. In turn, the book assesses the complex ties between wage increases, income distribution, and price changes, ultimately providing valuable recommendations on how wage policy can be used to stabilise price level increases at a low level in a world characterised by diverse and extreme economic shocks.¿The Resurgence of Inflation¿ fosters a vital discourse on wage and price dynamics, economic development and the role of trade unions, making it an essential read for policymakers, economists, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of today¿s economic challenges.

A THOUGHT-PROVOKING EXPLORATION OF OUR WORLD'S ECONOMIC PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTUREIn a journey over centuries only recently marked by prosperity, Lead, Follow, or Fail captures the socio-economic forces that have shaped our world.Dividing economic history into three eras--Pre-Industrial, Industrial, and Post-Industrial--Peter Brews chronicles the evolution of productivity and how nations, organizations, and individuals fall into the roles of Failures, Followers, or Leaders. Failures in the Pre-Industrial Era are plagued by scarcity, Followers are on their way to abundance through industrialization, and Leaders maintain Post-Industrial competitiveness through unrelenting innovation at the leading edge of global commerce.Understanding the transition across these eras and how Leading, Following, and Failing differ also offers insights into what our economic future will hold. After considering the implications of a world more economically diverse than ever before, three future scenarios--Balanced Global Growth, Unbalanced Global Growth, and Global Meltdown--conclude the book.Armed with the knowledge of what it takes to build and sustain competitiveness whether Leader, Follower, or Failure, readers also learn what we all must do so Balanced Global Growth prevails, and the 21st century is a triumph for us all.

This book shows that basic income is a powerful tool for realizing economic justice in our modern society. Through an interdisciplinary investigation of basic income in Korea, involving theological and social scientific perspectives, the book covers the topic of basic income on an academic basis, an economic basis, and in terms of its institutionalization potential.Although modern society is a global one, centered on the economic ideology of neo-liberalism, the negative effects of social polarization caused by this are quite severe. It is also urgent to come up with alternative solutions to the problems of labor reduction and wage labor. Moreover, the expansion of productivity through collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence also presents a challenge. An interdisciplinary study on the meaning and restructuring of labor is therefore needed.This book traces themes supporting the concept of basic income appearing in the Old and New Testaments, as well as precedents relating to basic income in the context of capitalism in the thought of the Reformers. Within the framework of Christian ethics, the book looks at the ideological basis for basic income and its applicability to the current situation in order to pursue economic justice. Additionally, the book examines the practical feasibility and rationale for basic income by discussing the economics of basic income financing and the political economy implications for how it can be applied to real politics.

"Borders draw one map of the world; money draws another. A journalist's riveting account exposes a parallel universe exempt from the laws of the land, and how the wealthy and powerful benefit from it. The map of the globe depicts the world we think we know: neatly delineated sovereign nations that bestow and restrict the rights of the citizens and entities within their borders. For wealthy individuals and corporations, however, borders are porous, and the globe is pockmarked with thousands of special zones that exist beyond any nation's control, for their benefit. And for those at the opposite end of privilege, the map fails to prevent exploitation by foreign powers, or willfully creates cracks where refugees fleeing war and hardship can be captured and kept in stateless limbo indefinitely. In this fast-paced and fascinating narrative, Atossa Abrahamian explores this parallel universe. Starting in thirteenth-century Switzerland, where a confederation of poor cantons marketed the commodity they had - bodies, in the form of mercenaries - she stalks the legacy of statelessness around world, from an Emirati-owned port in Somalia to the new charter cities, semi-autonomous city-states in poor countries like Honduras that are controlled by foreign governments or multinational corporations, to Luxembourg, which wants to use its tiny perch to send capitalism into outer space via asteroid mining. Along the way, we meet the shadowy CEOs, visionary statesmen, eccentric theorists, prize-winning economists, and alarming ideologues who are the masterminds of this parallel order. By mapping the hidden geography that increasingly determines who wins and who loses in the new global order - and how it might be otherwise - The Hidden Globe fascinates, enrages, and inspires"--

This book explores the political, economic, defence, and cultural relations of Poland with South AsiäAfghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lankäsince the late 1940s to the present. It examines how Polish preoccupation with gaining admission to NATO and the European Union led South Asia to fade into the margins of Polish foreign policy. It discusses key narratives and perceptions of South Asia in the Polish media and thinktanks, features of the South Asian diaspora in Poland, and assesses future prospects of Warsaw¿s deepening political and economic engagement with the region. The pioneering book will be essential reading for students and scholars of Central/East European studies, International Relations, Indian foreign policy, Polish-Asian politics and foreign policy.

This book focuses solely on the issues of agricultural productivity analysis with advanced modeling approaches bringing solutions to food-insecure regions of the world, especially in south and southeast Asia and in Africa. Advanced modeling tools and their use in regional planning provide an outstanding opportunity to help face the challenges of climate change. The sudden effect of flash floods, drought, salinity, and sea water rises causing saltwater intrusions and its impact on agricultural production are some of the disastrous results of climate change.In this edited volume, information on climate-induced impacts for flooding, flash floods, and drought impact on agricultural crops is provided to address possible solutions for food security in south Asia, southeast Asia, and some regions of Africa. Leading-edge research methodology is presented as it relates to remote sensing applications for regional science and allied fields. In regional policy planning, agriculture andforestry play key roles in food security along with environmental conservation and depend on geo-spatial variability. Satellite remote sensing and geographical information systems have an immense potential to encompass all these factors and to catalogue the regional variability of climate change and climate economics. In the satellite remote sensing domain, advanced modeling tools, deep learning applications, and cloud-based earth engines significantly increase the flexibility of decision making and its application for regional perspectives. The result can increase agricultural and forest productivity and ensure its resilience and sustainability.The book¿s chapters introduce modeling techniques such as machine learning and fuzzy expert system using satellite remote sensing datasets based on cloud application. These methods assist regional planners to increase crop production, land use, and detection of changes in land cover in order to better understand their vulnerability toclimate-related disaster. Furthermore, remote sensing and in-depth GIS analysis are integrated with machine learning to address natural uncertainties such as flash floods, droughts, and cyclones so that emergency responses for agricultural production management can be adopted more effectively.

This edited book aims to present a well-balanced view on the heated debate about BRI¿s ¿debt trap¿ controversy within the route states by presenting compelling evidence from Asian and African countries. It is contributed by the university scholars, think tank experts, and governmental officials from the concerned parties such as China, USA, South/Southeast Asia, and Africa to discuss this new topic from their perspectives. It not only examines the origins and changes in external debt among the BRI route states before and after the launch of the BRI, but also analyzes the outcomes stemming from BRI projects. The book covers 12 chapters, in which the first chapter briefly introduces the aims and scope of this book. The following 2 chapters look at Chinese and Indian perspectives on the ¿debt trap¿, respectively. The next 9 chapters examine the debt issue and BRI projects in Southeast Asian, South Asian, and African states, which mainly involve Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Nigeria, and give some useful policy suggestions to reduce the debt burden and promote the socioeconomic development in these countries.

Looks at how digitalization has changed the way we produce and interact, and the implications for working classes and countries of the Global South.

This book exploratively reviews and refines the theoretical system of economics with Chinese characteristics and the analytical framework of Chinese path to modernization. This book aims to reveal answers to the three questions: what has the theoretical system of economics with Chinese characteristics inherited and developed? What are the experiences and lessons of all countries¿ modernization in the world? What is the universality and particularity of Chinese Path to Modernization? As conclusion, the author draws a clue to understand Chinese path to modernization, which is neither ¿making up for the lessons¿ nor a ¿convergence¿, but an ¿innovation¿ built upon the general principles of modernization. Its universality lies in the overall patterns and trends of modernization, that is, the consistent process of the country's pursuit of national economic growth and people's prosperity. The distinctiveness of this path lies in the concurrent transformation of Chinese economic system and the institutional innovations with Chinese characteristics that unfold throughout this ongoing economic process.

A devastating critique of the forces propelling us beyond critical temperature limits, by the bestselling author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline

This book addresses two of the most relevant yet understudied questions in field of International Political Economy (IPE): 1) what explains the trade policy preferences of the organizations that represent economic producers in the political sphere?; and 2) how they are formed? Specifically, it focuses on the evolution of the preferences of industry peak organizations in Brazil and Argentina, the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) -and the Sao Paulo Federation of Industries (FIESP) - in the first case, and the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) in the second, regarding Mercosur's preferential trade agreements (PTA) negotiation agenda between 2010 and 2020. The author proposes a novel explanation, which combines elements from the open economy politics (OEP) paradigm with insights from ideational IPE. This book will appeal to research scholars, postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students, policymakers and professionals working in the fields of trade and industrial policies, trade agreements and negotiations, regionalism and government-business relations.

Why did the postcolonial Tunisian state promise development? How do these promises reverberate in the hopes and dreams of Tunisians today? And how do they fit into contemporary global capitalist structures of exploitation? Starting from the everyday life at a French factory in Tunisia this book explores the relationship between the political economy of Tunisia, postcolonial promises of the Tunisian state and the hopes and dreams of Tunisians working in the factory. It argues for taking the concept of development seriously not as a desirable policy goal but as a multi-dimensional social and political fact: as the unfolding of global capitalism, as a postcolonial nation-state project, and as a personal everyday imaginary. The book employs a longue durée perspective that analyzes contemporary desires and expectations while tracing and placing them inside Tunisiäs history. It thus contributes to our understanding of state-society relations and global capitalism in Tunisia.
