Far from being a burden on the taxpayer, Mary Mellor argues that public money and public expenditure is necessary for economic...

Wir produzieren Zeitwohlstand

By: Jana Gebauer, Gerrit von Jorck

Herausgeber_innen: „Zeit ist Geld.“ Aber am Arbeitsmarkt ist Zeit eine flüchtige Währung. Unter steigendem Rationalisierungs- und Wettbewerbsdruck fällt ihr Kurs zusehends.

By: Stefan Laser

Abstract: Debating socio-economic issues and practical strategies how to solve them habitually results in two opposing statements: (a) an economic-driven solution which almost blindly builds upon efficiency or (b) an overall critique of the growth-paradigm which specifically emphasizes unpredictable “rebound-effects”. Here, I suggest, one has to bring these two conflicting parties together by...
