I eventyr får helten succes ved risikovillighed, selvtillid og målfokus. Disse tre egenskaber er højt skattede i bøger om vejen til succes. Skiftende regeringer har bebrejdet danskerne at være for lidt risikovillige, selvtillidsfulde og målfokuserede. I eventyr vinder helten prinsessen og det halve kongerige – og det hele, når kongen dør. Altså den ultimative succes. Et overset problem er, at de nævnte egenskaber førte et stort antal uheldige friere til en tidlig død. Måske var de klogeste i eventyrene de aldrig omtalte ”ikke-friere”, der satsede på en gårdmandsdatter fremfor den næsten stensikre død ved prinsessefrieri. Bogen kaster et ironisk blik på dyrkelsen af de store ”succesjægere” og advarer mod at være ”bagland” for sådanne personer, ligesom den kaster et kritisk blik på offentlig erhvervspolitik med overdreven vægt på iværksættere. Bogen diskuterer blandt andet følgende spørgsmål i forbindelse med succes: - Er selvtillid en god egenskab? - Er risikovillighed en god egenskab? - Er der for få iværksættere i Danmark – eller for mange? - Arbejder danskere for lidt eller for meget? - Er dansk økonomisk politik for testoteron-præget?

NFTs cause excitement and skepticism. How much value can a token hold? What drives this value?To properly appreciate NFTs we must first understand what they actually are, how they work and in what contexts they are used.The Everything Token is an essential primer on NFTs (non-fungible tokens), explaining their use, purpose, and how businesses can create and exploit them to develop new product lines, building customer loyalty and increased revenues at the same time.Together the authors have spent much of the past few years embedded in NFT communities and helping launch NFT products. As self-described beta testers of this brand-new technology, they've seen its power first-hand and aim to educate others on the importance, uses and purpose of NFT and surrounding, ever-evolving technologies.Demystifying the complexities, two experts in NFTs show why we should take NFTs much more seriously than their reputation as fun digital art collectibles suggest. They have a wider variety of uses than one may realise.Gripping and accessible, this book provides a guide and an insight into what can often be a hard-to-grasp area of technology.

Setting wages isn¿t an exact science, but we like to think that our workplace performance provides an objective basis for pay. Yoüre Paid What Yoüre Worth offers a bold theory to the contrary, arguing that pay is decided in contests over interests and ideals¿that social conflicts, not economic metrics, determine who gets how much.

The world's leading economist of inequality presents a short but sweeping and surprisingly optimistic history of human progress toward equality despite crises, disasters, and backsliding, a perfect introduction to the ideas developed in his monumental earlier books.It is easy to be pessimistic about inequality. We know it has increased dramatically in many parts of the world over the past two generations. No one has done more to reveal the problem than Thomas Piketty. Now, in this surprising and powerful new work, Piketty reminds us that the grand sweep of history gives us reasons to be optimistic. Over the centuries, he shows, we have been moving toward greater equality.Piketty guides us with elegance and concision through the great movements that have made the modern world for better and worse: the growth of capitalism, revolutions, imperialism, slavery, wars, and the building of the welfare state. It's a history of violence and social struggle, punctuated by regression and disaster. But through it all, Piketty shows, human societies have moved fitfully toward a more just distribution of income and assets, a reduction of racial and gender inequalities, and greater access to health care, education, and the rights of citizenship.Our rough march forward is political and ideological, an endless fight against injustice. To keep moving, Piketty argues, we need to learn and commit to what works, to institutional, legal, social, fiscal, and educational systems that can make equality a lasting reality. At the same time, we need to resist historical amnesia and the temptations of cultural separatism and intellectual compartmentalization. At stake is the quality of life for billions of people.We know we can do better, Piketty concludes. The past shows us how. The future is up to us.

An entertaining collection of biographical portraits of history's most influential and inspiring economists - from Aristotle to Keynes, and Karl Marx to Friedrich Hayek - and what they can teach us about the world today.We all live in the economy, whether we know it or not. The current cost-of-living crisis is an economic problem. Brexit might be a political project, but it has already changed how much money we have to spend and which products we can buy. Climate change may seem to be an ecological, or a social, or a technological problem, but it is also an economic problem, because its solution will transform the structure of the global economy.This book provides a readable and entertaining guide to the great thinkers who help us understand how economics works. It looks at how Aristotle invented the household budget, why Adam Smith wanted to abolish rent, and how modern Nobel prize winners shape the world around us. From the Greeks and Romans to the thinkers behind Enron and the financial crash of 2008, this is the ultimate guide to the greatest economists of the human age, and what their extraordinary thinking can teach us about how to see the world.Mochrie explores how the largely Western, White and male dominated field of economics is beginning to diversify, and shows how the great ideas of complex economics can be applied to our day-to-day existence.

From the workings of financial markets to our response to the ecological crisis, economic theory shapes the world. But where do these ideas come from? Ricardo's Dream tells the fascinating story of David Ricardo, Adam Smith's only real rival as the 'founder of economics'. The wealthiest stock trader of his day, Ricardo introduced the study of abstract models to economics. He also developed the theory of trade that underpinned globalization and hides, behind its mathematical facade, a history of power, empire, and slavery. Brimming with fresh ideas and stories, Ricardo's Dream shows how too many economists, from Ricardo's day to our own, have turned away from observing the real world and led us astray.

"Der Denker 2023" präsentiert das erste Jahr der Akademie der Denker, einer Gemeinschaft, bei der Erkenntnisgewinn ein zuvorderst persönliches Anliegen ist. ¿Man könnte wohl sagen, dass die lebendige Menschlichkeit eines Menschen in dem Maße abnimmt, in dem er auf das Denken verzichtet¿ (Hannah Arendt). Im nunmehr dritten Semester seit der Gründung haben bereits 50 renommierte, wissenschaftliche Dozenten ehrenamtlich ihre Expertise, ihre Lehrerfahrung und vor allem ihr Herzblut eingebracht und wirken so im Geiste Wilhelm vom Humboldts zum Wohle freier Wissenschaften. Dort tauscht sich der freie Geist des Individuums an einem geschützten Ort mit anderen Freigeistern aus. "Der Denker 2023" 2023 enthält spannende Beiträge dieser Dozenten: Gerald Hüther zur ¿Menschlichen Potenzialentfaltung¿, Elke Haase-Hauptmann in der Vorlesungsreihe ¿Ernährung. selbst. bewusst.¿, Max Otte über den ¿Weg in den Transhumanismus¿, Jele Pilar Weiskopf und Martin Schwab zu ¿Recht und Propagandä, Elias Stangl zur ¿Resilienz durch Glauben¿, u.v.m.. Max Ruppert, Gründer der Akademie für freie Wissenschaften, verneigt sich als Herausgeber von "Der Denker 2023" voll Hochachtung bei allen Mitstreitern.

Überall muss gespart werden und Geld ist sowieso knapp - darüber scheinen sich Politiker:innen und Wissenschaftler:innen sich einig zu sein. Debatten um öffentliche Finanzen, Wirtschafts- und Geldpolitik schienen dieses Mantra immer wieder zu wiederholen. Jedoch lässt sich ganz einfach und mit Logik schnell erkennen, dass das nicht stimmt. In diesem Buch wird erklärt, was Fiat-Geld eigentlich ist, wie öffentliche Finanzen funktionieren und welche Rolle Banken darin spielen. So wird deutlich, dass im einem Fiat-Geldsystem staatliche Defizite kein finanzielles Risiko darstellen, Ausgaben nach deren realen wirtschaftlichen Nutzen und Kosten bewertet werden sollten und Steuern auf Ausgaben folgen und nicht andersherum. Darüber hinaus wird dargestellt, wie das Geld- und Finanzsystem funktioniert und genutzt werden kann, um gesellschaftliche und demokratisch legitimierte Ziele zu verfolgen.

Der umfassende Reformvorschlag zielt darauf, unser heutiges selbstzerstörerisches Geldsystem durch ein auf Selbstregulierung programmiertes System zu ersetzen. Die Regeln bauen auf der Analyse der drei vorangegangenen Teile der Quadratur des Geldes auf. Der Kerngedanke besteht darin, ein Verrechnungssystem im Sinne Proudhons und Keynes' zu schaffen, in dem Geldschöpfung konsequent an reale Wertschöpfung gekoppelt ist, so dass keine Finanzblasen entstehen können. Voraussetzung dafür ist es, Profit nicht einfach zu verbieten, sondern Profit in jeder Hinsicht überflüssig zu machen.

'This, right now, with no excuses, no delays, no equivocation, no loop-holes, no moaning' Danny Dorling'A concise, sharp book that makes an incontrovertible case for a profound redistribution of wealth; and a rousing call to arms to take on the super-rich and build an economy that works for everyone' Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism The story is all too familiar. The global economy generates immense fortunes for a super-rich elite. Yet at the same time pay stagnates for ordinary workers, food banks proliferate and public services collapse around us.In Enough, Luke Hildyard argues that far from being the hard-working and productive entrepreneurs that they claim to be, the super-rich are an extractive, parasitic force sucking up a vastly disproportionate share of society's resources - making the rest of us all poorer as a result. Politicians make absurd promises about economic growth while ignoring the solution that's staring them in the face. Enough shows that a major programme of taxes on the rich and economic reform could be used to get the wealth of the one per cent flowing instead to the workers who actually create it.Luke Hildyard is the Director of the High Pay Centre, a UK think tank focused on pay and employment rights. He has commented on pay and inequality for the Guardian, The Times, Financial Times, Daily Mirror, BBC, Sky News, CNN and CNBC.

Branko Milanovic charts 200 years of the fascinating history of the discourse on inequality through portraits of six key economists, from Quesnay to Kuznets. In their work and lives, we see how differently each conceived of inequality, and how the subject, prominent in their times, was eclipsed during the Cold War and has become central once again.

Karl Theodor Helfferich (1872-1924), deutscher Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, Bankier und Politiker, unternahm mit dem hier vorliegenden Werk den Versuch, eine zusammenfassende Darstellung der Entwicklung des Geldwesen und seiner volkswirtschaftlichen Verfasstheit zu geben. Dies handelt er folgenden Hauptkapiteln ab: "Die Entwicklungsgeschichte des Geldes und der Geldsysteme", "Die Gestaltung der Edelmetall- und Währungsverhältnisse seit der Entdeckung Amerikas", "Das Geld in der Wirtschaftsordnung", "Das Geld in der Rechtsordnung", "Die Geldverfassung" und "Geldbedarf, Geldversorgung und Geldwert". Nachdruck der sechsten, neubearbeiteten Auflage aus dem Jahr 1923.

The performance of the British economy over the past fifty-odd years does not make for comforting reading. Indeed, the story is a depressing catalogue of misapprehensions, missteps, wasted opportunities, crises and humiliations, with all-too-familiar problems arising time and again and yet never being satisfactorily addressed. All nations and their economic policymakers are to a certain extent prisoners of their history, but this seems to apply more to the UK than to other countries. Nostalgia for the great days of the past has become tyrannical - and is in some sense embodied in the form of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's famous 'budget box', made for William Gladstone in the 1850s and only passed over to a museum in 2010. Nostalgia has led to wishful thinking, and this has been the underlying sentiment driving poorly thought through - sometimes even panicky - initiatives that were blindly borrowed from elsewhere, that flew in the face of experience, or that were drawn from theoretical and political extremes. This book describes and interprets the economic and political history of the past half a century, examining the challenges confronted by successive governments and their Chancellors, the policies employed for good or ill, and - running through it all - the desperate search for a panacea that could arrest the nation's relative decline and return the country to its supposed former glories.

Monty is a dog, not a financial genius, but economics still shapes his everyday life. Over the course of seventeen walks, Dr Rebecca Campbell chews over economic concepts and investigates how they apply to our lives people and mutts alike. There are no graphs, no charts (Monty can't read them) and definitely no calculus! How to Teach Economics to Your Dog tackles the knotty question of what economics actually is. Is it a mathematical science like physics? Or a moral and philosophical investigation of how societies should manage scarce resources? Along the way we meet some of the great thinkers from Adam Smith to Thomas Piketty, and ponder questions such as: What on earth does quantitative easing mean? And why are some countries so much richer than others?

The book that has been waiting to be written - how Ireland's housing policy has locked an entire generation out of the housing market and what we should do about it. Millennials are the first generation in Ireland to be worse off than their parents. Trapped in a game of rental roulette, stuck living at home as adults, and many on the brink of homelessness, the Irish housing crisis has defined the lives of an entire generation - and it is set to continue. With housing costs in Ireland the highest in the EU, the property ladder has been kicked from under thousands. So how did we get here ... and how do we break the cycle? In Gaffs, housing expert Rory Hearne urges us to think about the people behind the statistics, and shows us that there is a way towards a future where everyone has access to a home.
