På råbeafstand af marxismen analyserer et teorihistorisk forløb fra sidst i 1960’erne og frem til i dag inden for vestlig filosofi, politisk tænkning og kulturstudier. Et forløb kendetegnet ved en afsked med marxismen og med det revolutionære projekt, marxismen kan siges at være udtryk for. En opgivelse af en kritik af kapitalismen. Et forløb, hvor en vigtig selvkritik – den nødvendige analyse af klassekampens genkomst, forvandling og omslag i den anden halvdel af 1960’erne og begyndelsen af 1970’erne – hurtigt afløses af en opgivelse af det revolutionære projekt. Bevægelsen fra revolutionær selvkritik til opgivelse af marxismen og afsked med en analyse af kapitalismen er anliggendet for bogens tekster. Det er et forløb, der går fra revolutionært opbrud og den nødvendige udvidelse af marxismens historiske analyse til afsked med en sammenhængende systemkritik til fordel for en overdreven tiltro til økonomiens selvstyre.Bogen er tænkt som et bidrag til en genaktivering af marxismen og dens kritiske analyse (og afvikling) af det kapitalistiske samfund. At være ‘på råbeafstand af marxismen’ er at forsøge at ryste den fortrolighed, som kapitalismen antog i perioden, efter at den vestlige marxisme selvkritisk så nærmere på den historiske materialismes klassekategorier og historiefilosofi.

In this essential handbook?a blend of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The Happiness Project?the co-host of the wildly popular InvestED podcast shares her yearlong journey learning to invest, as taught to her by her father, investor and bestselling author Phil Town.Growing up, the words finance, savings, and portfolio made Danielle Town's eyes glaze over, and the thought of stocks and financial statements shut down her brain. The daughter of a successful investor and bestselling financial author of Rule #1, Phil Town, she spent most of her adult life avoiding investing?until she realized that her time-consuming career as lawyer was making her feel anything but in control of her life or her money.

Avoiding complex math and obsolete financial models, she turns her father's investing knowledge into twelve easy-to understand lessons. In each chapter, Danielle examines the investment strategies she mastered as her increasing know-how deepens the trust between her and her father. Throughout, she streamlines the process of making wise financial decisions and shows you just how easy?and profitable?investing can be.Capturing a warm, charming, and down-to-earth give and take between a headstrong daughter and her mostly patient dad, Invested makes the complex world of investing simple, straightforward, and approachable, and will help you formulate your own investment plan?and foster the confidence to put it into action.

"What does AI mean for your business? Read this book to find out." -- Hal Varian, Chief Economist,

A lively, inviting account of the history of economics, told through events from ancient to modern times and the ideas of great thinkers in the field What causes poverty? Are economic crises inevitable under capitalism? Is government intervention in an economy a helpful approach or a disastrous idea? The answers to such basic economic questions matter to everyone, yet the unfamiliar jargon and math of economics can seem daunting. This clear, accessible, and even humorous book is ideal for young readers new to economics and for all readers who seek a better understanding of the full sweep of economic history and ideas. Economic historian Niall Kishtainy organizes short, chronological chapters that center on big ideas and events. He recounts the contributions of key thinkers including Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, and others, while examining topics ranging from the invention of money and the rise of agrarianism to the Great Depression, entrepreneurship, environmental destruction, inequality, and behavioral economics. The result is a uniquely enjoyable volume that succeeds in illuminating the economic ideas and forces that shape our world.

Det er medio 2017 den almindelige opfattelse, at finanskrisen er et overstået kapitel, krisen er overvundet. Det mener Kim Paulsen imidlertid ikke. Hans bog Ud af krisen handler herom.Bogen rummer let tilgængelige analyser af årsagerne til finanskrisen og en vurdering af, hvilke konsekvenser, den fik for almindelige mennesker i USA, Europa og ikke mindst i Danmark.Ifølge Kim Paulsen ”lider” økonomien i øjeblikket af en ”underefterspørgsel”, der er et resultat af den voldsomt voksende ulighed. Ifølge Kim Paulsen er der derfor ét afgørende svar på krisens udfordring. Dette svar hedder OMFORDELING.Kim Paulsens forslag om en omfattende omfordeling fra rige kreditorer til forgældede debitorer er normalt ikke en krise-løsning, der diskuteres seriøst i danske medier, men ifølge Paulsen er en vidtrækkende omfordeling den afgørende universalnøgle til at låse den fastlåste økonomiske situation op med. Kim Paulsen er nationaløkonom og har mere end 30 års erfaring fra ministerier, banker og internationale virksomheder.Han er specialist i kreditricisi og opfatter sig selv som en whistleblower på vegne af kriseramte danskere. Kim Paulsens bog udkommer i serien Indsigt og utopi, hvor forlaget i en række udgivelser sætter fokus på økonomiske, sociale og politiske ideer og korrektiver til den herskende udvikling.

Why is America so rich and powerful? The answer lies in our genes, according to psychologist John Gartner.Hypomania, a genetically based mild form of mania, endows many of us with unusual energy, creativity, enthusiasm, and a propensity for taking risks. America has an extraordinarily high number of hypomanics—grandiose types who leap on every wacky idea that occurs to them, utterly convinced it will change the world. Market bubbles and ill-considered messianic crusades can be the downside. But there is an enormous upside in terms of spectacular entrepreneurial zeal, drive for innovation, and material success. Americans may have a lot of crazy ideas, but some of them lead to brilliant inventions. Why is America so hypomanic? It is populated primarily by immigrants. This self-selection process is the boldest natural experiment ever conducted. Those who had the will, optimism, and daring to take the leap into the unknown have passed those traits on to their descendants. Bringing his audacious and persuasive thesis to life, Gartner offers case histories of some famous Americans who represent this phenomenon of hypomania. These are the real stories you never learned in school about some of those men who made America: Columbus, who discovered the continent, thought he was the messiah. John Winthrop, who settled and defined it, believed Americans were God's new chosen people. Alexander Hamilton, the indispensable founder who envisioned America's economic future, self-destructed because of pride and impulsive behavior. Andrew Carnegie, who began America's industrial revolution, was sure that he was destined personally to speed up human evolution and bring world peace. The Mayer and Selznick families helped create the peculiarly American art form of the Hollywood film, but familial bipolar disorders led to the fall of their empires. Craig Venter decoded the human genome, yet his arrogance made him despised by most of his scientific colleagues, even as he spurred them on to make great discoveries. While these men are extraordinary examples, Gartner argues that many Americans have inherited the genes that have made them the most successful citizens in the world.

Kwame Nkrumah NEO-COLONIALISM THE LAST STAGE OF IMPERIALISM This is the book which, when first published in 1965, caused such an uproar in the US State Department that a sharp note of protest was sent to Kwame Nkrumah and the $25million of American "aid" to Ghana was promptly cancelled.

Timely, compelling, and certain to be controversial-a deeply researched study that reveals how companies and policy makers are hindering innovation-led growth Conventional wisdom holds that Western economies are on the threshold of fast-and-furious technological development. Fredrik Erixon and Bjorn Weigel refute this idea, bringing together a vast array of data and case studies to tell a very different story. With expertise spanning academia and the business world, Erixon and Weigel illustrate how innovation is being hampered by existing government regulations and corporate practices. Capitalism, they argue, has lost its mojo. Assessing the experiences of global companies, including Nokia, Uber, IBM, and Apple, the authors explore three key themes: declining economic dynamism in Western economies; growing corporate reluctance to contest markets and innovate; and excessive regulation limiting the diffusion of innovation. At a time of low growth, high unemployment, and increasing income inequality, innovation-led growth is more necessary than ever. This book unequivocally details the obstacles hindering our future prosperity.

An incisive analysis of the state of the global economy and what the future holds. Surrounded by sluggish growth, high rates of unemployment, rising inequality, growing financial instability and increased social tensions, pessimism about our future abounds.  Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, one of the world‿s most influential economic thinkers, explains lucidly the realities of the economic choices that we will soon face. The path that the global economy and markets are on is ending. But what comes thereafter is far from predestined. It critically depends on choices that we make as households and companies, and decisions that our political representatives take.  The Only Game in Town details how the world is increasingly being shaken, both from above and from below. It illuminates the growing internal contradictions, the constraints that are undermining growth and prosperity, and the radical overhaul in thinking that is required. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, central banks were handed responsibility for the fate of the global economy. Lifting the veil on the inner workings of these powerful and innovative institutions, El-Erian explains why they cannot save us this time around.   Laying out a road map for growth, The Only Game in Town shows how and why collaboration between central bankers, policymakers and business leaders is essential. Drawing on insights from behavioral science, economics and finance, this book provides the tools needed to understand the uncertainties that lie ahead and return us to a path of prosperity. Thought provoking and insightful, this book is required reading for investors, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future.

Jeffrey D. Sachs is one of the world's most perceptive and original analysts of global development. In this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can use a holistic way forward to address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice: sustainable development. Sachs offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Far more than a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and spur action. Based on Sachs's twelve years as director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, his thirteen years advising the United Nations secretary-general on the Millennium Development Goals, and his recent presentation of these ideas in a popular online course, The Age of Sustainable Development is a landmark publication and clarion call for all who care about our planet and global justice.
