Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende Band der Studien zur Entwicklung der ökonomischen Theorie vereinigt die überarbeiteten Referate der 25. Jahrestagung des Dogmenhistorischen Ausschusses, die im Universitätsclub Bonn stattfand. Im Zentrum der Debatten standen die vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Ökonomie und Technik. So rückte mit Adam Smith die Bedeutung des technischen Fortschritts als Quelle der Wohlstandssteigerung in den Vordergrund, während David Ricardo als erster Ökonom das 'Maschinerieproblem', d. h. mögliche negative Beschäftigungswirkungen des technischen Fortschritts systematisch analysierte. In den sechs Beiträgen werden zunächst zwei eher unbekannte Autoren des deutschen Sprachraums wie Hans Conrad Escher und Georg Graf von Buquoy behandelt, die jedoch bereits so relevante Themen wie die Rolle des Humankapitals und das Problem der Wahl der optimalen Produktionstechnik diskutierten. In den nachfolgenden Beiträgen werden mit 'organischen' und 'mechanischen' Ansätzen unterschiedliche Vorgehensweisen zur Analyse des Verhältnisses von Technik und Wirtschaft, die Rolle der Technik in Sombarts Untersuchungen zum modernen Kapitalismus, Wicksells kritische Auseinandersetzung mit Ricardos Analyse des Maschinerieproblems sowie die von Ricardo, Marx und Bortkiewicz inspirierte Neuformulierung der klassischen Produktions-, Wert- und Verteilungstheorie durch Piero Sraffa näher untersucht.

Download or read book The Growth Spiral written by Hans Christoph Binswanger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops a new theory of the modern economy. Conventional economic theory is (still) based on an essentially static notion of equilibrium. In contrast, this book offers an analysis of the economic process based on a truly dynamic approach. It understands modern economic activity as manifesting itself in a growth spiral. There are two main drivers of the dynamics of this spiral: steady money creation in the banking system, on the one hand; and the continuous inflow of energy and raw materials through the exploitation of natural resources, on the other. Both driving forces are generally neglected by the conventional theory. Understanding their role is absolutely essential for preventing our economy from being more and more exposed to financial and ecological crises. This book offers important insights about the functioning of the modern economy and addresses the specialist as well as the interested lay reader.

Download or read book The Beginnings of Political Economy written by Jürgen Backhaus and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-13 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ju ̈ rgen G. Backhaus 1 Johann Heinrich Gottlob (von) Justi was born in 1702 in Bru ̈ cken in Prussia (county of Sangerhausen), studied law and cameral sciences in Wittenberg and Jena, yet had to leave the university, entered the Prussian military service, was captured during the Austrian war of succession by the Austrians but escaped to Leipzig (Saxony) where he studied mineral sciences. In 1750 he was called to a chair ‘‘Cameral Sciences and Rhetorics’’ at the new Theresian Academy of Knights in Vienna. There, he gave two important inaugural lectures which are the focal point of this book. In 1754, Justi was appointed a mineral counsellor in Gottingen ̈ (Hanover), and lectured at the Saxonian University on both state sciences and natural sciences. In 1762, Frederic II (the Great) of Prussia appointed him Prussian captain (highest supervisory position) of mines and general supervisor of fiscal-mineral activities. In 1768 he was accused of embezzlement, and before he could prove his innocence, he died in 1771 as a prisoner in the (decaying) fortress of Ku ̈ strin. Due to his death, the case was never decided. But Frederic had obviously made his own decision. When he appointed Justi, the appointee pointed out that he was suffering from weak eye sight and could not readily check the bookkeeping. Frederic replied: You may have weak eyes but you have a bright mind. I shall put two eyes by your side.

Download or read book Theory of Production written by Heinz D. Kurz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-02-28 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling book contains a comprehensive analytical treatment of the theory of production in a long-period framework. Although the authors take a 'Classical' approach to their subject, the scope of investigation and methods employed should interest all economic theorists. Professors Kurz and Salvadori explore economic systems that are characterised by a particular kind of primary input in the production process, such as different kinds of labour and natural resources. These systems and the corresponding prices can be understood to reflect characteristic features of a capitalist market economy in an ideal way: they express the pure logic of the relationship between value and distribution in an economic system. Specific chapters deal with prices and income distribution, economic growth, joint production, fixed capital, scarce natural resources (both renewable and exhaustible), and heterogeneous labour. The historical origins of the concepts used are also discussed in considerable detail.

Download or read book Keynes on Monetary Policy Finance and Uncertainty written by Jorg Bibow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a reassessment of Keynes’ theory of liquidity preference. It argues that the failure of the Keynesian revolution to be made in either theory or practice owes importantly to the fact that the role of liquidity preference theory as a pivotal element in Keynes’ General Theory has remained underexplored and indeed widely misunderstood even among Keynes’ followers and until today. The book elaborates on and extends Keynes’ conceptual framework, moving it from the closed economy to the global economy context, and applies liquidity preference theory to current events and prominent hypotheses in global finance. Jörg Bibow presents Keynes’ liquidity preference theory as a distinctive and highly relevant approach to monetary theory offering a conceptual framework of general applicability for explaining the role and functioning of the financial system. He argues that, in a dynamic context, liquidity preference theory may best be understood as a theory of financial intermediation. Through applications to current events and prominent hypotheses in global finance, this book underlines the richness, continued relevance, and superiority of Keynes’ theory of liquidity preference; with Hyman Minsky standing out for developing Keynes’ vision of financial capitalism.

Download or read book Great Economic Thinkers from Antiquity to the Historical School written by Bertram Schefold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains commentaries from the series "Klassiker der Nationalökonomie" (classics of economics), which have been translated into English for the first time. This selection focuses on neglected, but notable writers in a deserted sub-discipline, localising the beginning of economic science not with Adam Smith, but with the moral question of usury and the good life in Antiquity. Bertram Schefold’s choice of authors for the "Klassiker" series, which he has edited since 1991, and his comments on the various re-edited works are proof of his highly original and thought-provoking interpretation of the history of economic thought (HET). This volume is an important contribution to HET not only because it delivers original and fresh insights about such well-known figures as Aristotle, Jevons or Wicksell, but also because it deals with authors and ideas who have been forgotten or neglected in the previous literature. In this regard Schefold’s book could prove to be seminal for the field of the history of economic thought, for in the age of globalisation our usual restriction to the thinkers of Western Europe and the USA might eventually be overcome. This book will give the reader a far broader view of economics compared to that of the latest research. This volume is suitable for those who are interested in and study history of economic thought as well as economic theory and philosophy.
