Karl Brunner and Monetarism
by Thomas Moser and Marcel SaviozEconomists consider the legacy of Karl Brunner&’s monetarism and its influence on current debates over monetary policy. Monetarism emerged in the 1950s and 1960s as a school of economic thought that questioned certain tenets of Keynesianism. Emphasizing the monetary nature of inflation and the responsibility of central banks for price stability, monetarism held sway in the inflation-plagued 1970s, but saw its influence begin to decline in the 1980s. Although Milton Friedman is the economist most closely associated with the development of monetarism, it was Karl Brunner (1916–1989) who introduced the term into the current vocabulary of economics and shaped its meaning. In this volume, leading economists—many of them Brunner&’s friends and former colleagues—consider the influence of Brunner&’s monetarism on current debates over monetary policy. Some contributors were participants in debates between Keynesians and monetarists; others analyze specific aspects of monetarism as theorized by Brunner and his close collaborator Allan Meltzer, or address its influence on US and European monetary policy. Others take the opportunity to examine Brunner-Meltzer monetarism through the lens of contemporary macroeconomics and monetary models. The book grows out of a symposium that marked the 100th anniversary of Brunner&’s birth. ContributorsErnst Baltensperger, Michael D.

Karl Marx: Aspekte seines Wirkens
by Udo Kern Doris NeubergerUm die heutige Welt zu begreifen, sollten wir uns nach Präsident Macron mit dem Werk „Das Kapital“ von Marx beschäftigen. Tatsächlich stellt sich nach der Finanzkrise 2007/2008 und nach Karl Marx' 200. Geburtstag im Jahr 2018 die Frage, wie aktuell sein Werk auch oder vielleicht gerade heute noch ist. In diesem Fachbuch werden deshalb verschiedene Aspekte aus dem Leben und Werk von Karl Marx beleuchtet. Dabei verfolgen die Autoren, Forscher der Universität Rostock, einen interdisziplinären Ansatz und behandeln sowohl Marx' Religionskritik als auch die Frage nach seinem politischen Denken. Thematisiert werden Marx' Interpretationen von Kapital und Geld sowie sein Kommunismusverständnis und sein Kapitalverstehen. War Karl Marx ein politischer Denker? Kann Karl Marx die Finanzkrise 2007/08 erklären und wenn ja, vielleicht sogar besser als der ökonomische Mainstream? Welchen Stellenwert kann seiner Philosophie und seiner Geld- und Kredittheorie beigemessen werden? Stimmen Kernaussagen seiner Kapitalismuskritik? In sechs Kapiteln, die auch unabhängig voneinander gelesen werden können, gehen die Autoren eingehend auf diese Fragen und Themen ein.

Karl Marx: His Life and Work (Routledge Revivals)
by Otto RühleFirst published in English in 1929, this is a reissue of Otto Rühle's comprehensive biography of Karl Marx. Written by a leading Marxist and key figure within the German Labour movement, this is an exceptionally detailed and well-researched study which sets Marx's life and work firmly within its social and historical context before examining in depth the major events of his life and the writings for which he has become such an influential figure in modern political philosophy.

Karl Marx and the Classics: An Essay on Value, Crises and the Capitalist Mode of Production (Routledge Revivals)
by John Milios Dimitri DimoulisThis title was first published in 2002: By exploring Marxian value theory and its relevance to present issues of economic analysis, such as the circuit of social capital, the quantity theory of money, instability and economic crises, and economic exploitation and its ideological disguise, this volume investigates the conceptual links between Marxian and Classical Political Economy. The book poses and discusses questions that have yet to be tackled thoroughly in the English-language Marxian literature, such as Marx's theoretical inconsistencies and the role of Engels as editor and "interpreter" of Marx's writings. In doing so, this excellent text provides a much-needed contemporary re-evaluation of the work of one of the world's most enduring writers.

by Marcello MustoWritten between 1857 and 1858, the Grundrisse is the first draft of Marx‘s critique of political economy and, thus, also the initial preparatory work on Capital. Despite its editorial vicissitudes and late publication, Grundrisse contains numerous reflections on matters that Marx did not develop elsewhere in his oeuvre and is therefore extremely im
Karl Marx’s Life, Ideas, and Influences: A Critical Examination on the Bicentenary (Marx, Engels, and Marxisms)
by Marcello Musto Shaibal Gupta Babak AminiSince the latest crisis of capitalism broke out in 2008, Marx has been back in fashion, and sometimes it seems that his ideas have never been as topical, or as commanding of respect and interest, as they are today. This edited collection arises from one of the largest international conferences dedicated to the bicentenary of Marx’s birth. The volume contains 16 chapters authored by globally renowned scholars and is divided into two parts: I) On the Critique of Politics; II) On the Critique of Political Economy. These contributions, from multiple academic disciplines, offer diverse perspectives on why Marx is still so relevant for our times and make this book a source of great appeal for both expert scholars of Marx as well as students and general readers who are approaching his theories for the first time.
Karl Marx's Theory of History: A Defence (Expanded Edition)
by G. A. CohenFirst published in 1978, this book rapidly established itself as a classic of modern Marxism. Cohen's masterful application of advanced philosophical techniques in an uncompromising defense of historical materialism commanded widespread admiration. In the ensuing twenty years, the book has served as a flagship of a powerful intellectual movement--analytical Marxism. In this expanded edition, Cohen offers his own account of the history, and the further promise, of analytical Marxism. He also expresses reservations about traditional historical materialism, in the light of which he reconstructs the theory, and he studies the implications for historical materialism of the demise of the Soviet Union.
Karl Popper and Situational Analysis: Theory and Method for Contemporary Economics and Sociology (Routledge INEM Advances in Economic Methodology)
by Alfonso Palacio-Vera‘Situational Analysis’ represents Karl Popper’s methodological proposal for the social sciences. Although it has been widely studied and interpreted, this book argues that Situational Analysis remains underestimated and undeveloped and, if properly reformulated, could yet become a broad methodological framework that encompasses both the ‘historical’ social sciences and a large section of the ‘theoretical’ social sciences.The first part of this book develops this idea by returning to Popper’s texts. This book calls for both a reformulation of Situational Analysis and a clarification of the status and role of Popper’s ‘Rationality Principle’. This book also develops Situational Analysis by addressing two aspects of the Problem-Situation facing individual actors that are only sketched out in Popper’s work: institutions and expectations. The second part of this book utilizes the reformulated version of Situational Analysis to shed light on the core methodological differences across some of the most widespread approaches in contemporary economics and sociology. In particular, by showing that many of these approaches are variants of the reformulated version of Situational Analysis presented in the first part of this book, this book argues that apparent methodological differences across these approaches may be reinterpreted as differences in the way social scientists reconstruct the Problem-Situation facing individual actors.This book will be vital reading for academic economists, sociologists, philosophers of science, and other social scientists interested in methodology.
The Karma of Success: Spiritual Strategies to Free Your Inner Genius
by Liz TranRealize your innermost dreams and ambitions by turning up the volume on your intuition and re-connecting with your Inner Genius We are all born with an inner spark of intuition—Buddhism calls it seeing Dhamma.

The Karma of Success is the professional and personal success you will find once your internal world, your actions, and your values are in alignment. You&’ll feel more confident, capable, and enjoy more success as you learn how to access your own inner voice, stop following the paths of others, and redefine achievement on your own terms. Business coach, tech executive, Reiki healer, and spiritual leader Liz Tran will teach you the Four Pillars of Spiritual Strategy—inquiring inward, manifesting mindfully, enriching your energy, and becoming brilliant. You will also be guided by stories of business leaders, tech visionaries, and regular people who have learned how to access their intuition in order to unlock their full potential. Drawing from ancient sources of wisdom including Zen Buddhism, the Tao, Reiki healing, astrology, and Vipassana meditation, The Karma of Success shows you how to slow down and look inward to find the meaning and success you are meant to have.

Karrierebezogene Risiken von Expatriierungen: Eine explorative Analyse
by Christian NowakInternationale Mobilität ist inzwischen ein geläufiger Bestandteil beruflicher Karrieren. In diesem Kontext werden Expatriierungen u. a. als wichtiges Instrument angesehen, das Arbeitnehmern ermöglicht, sich neuen Herausforderungen zu stellen sowie ihre Karriereentwicklung zu fördern. Trotz vielfältiger Chancen, die mit internationaler Mobilität verbunden sind, sind Erkenntnisse zum Einfluss von Expatriierungserfahrungen auf z. B. den Karrierefortschritt weiterhin begrenzt sowie von Inkonsistenzen geprägt. Für das methodische Vorgehen wurde ein qualitativer Ansatz gewählt, mit dessen Hilfe eine umfassende Bandbreite an karrierebezogenen Risiken im Expatriierungskontext erforscht wird. So werden in den Ergebnissen verschiedene Arten von Risiken herausgearbeitet, Ursachen für Risikoentstehung beschrieben und schließlich in ein Prozessmodell überführt, das die Entstehung der Risiken abbildet. Damit wird ein Beitrag geleistet, um die anfangs benannten Widersprüche und die Risikoentstehung besser nachvollziehen zu können. Auch werden einige Risiken herausgearbeitet, die bis dato kaum eine Rolle in der Forschung spielen, Impulse für die Karriere- und Expatriierungsforschung darstellen und wertvolle Anregungen für die Praxis liefern können.
