A Dutch City Is Experimenting With Giving Away A Basic Income Of $1,000 A Month

By: Ben Schiller

Europas Schande: Der EU-Türkei-Pakt und die Abschottung Europas

By: Fabian Scheidler

Degrowth, the financial system and the pension system

By: Joachim H. Spangenberg

Abstract: It has been argued that degrowth would lead to a catastrophic economic collapse triggered by a collapse of stock exchange values.
