Makroøkonomi

A dollar is a dollar-or so most of us believe. Indeed, it is part of the ideology of our time that money is a single, impersonal instrument that impoverishes social life by reducing relations to cold, hard cash. After all, it's just money. Or is it? Distinguished social scientist and prize-winning author Viviana Zelizer argues against this conventional wisdom. She shows how people have invented their own forms of currency, earmarking money in ways that baffle market theorists, incorporating funds into webs of friendship and family relations, and otherwise varying the process by which spending and saving takes place. Zelizer concentrates on domestic transactions, bestowals of gifts and charitable donations in order to show how individuals, families, governments, and businesses have all prescribed social meaning to money in ways previously unimagined.

Which are the institutions that really matter? Why is it we need the Money Machine - and what happens when it crashes?

Why the gold standard is due for a comeback A reserve currency can only function as such if there is a general consensus that it provides a stable store of value.

I bogen forklarer forklarer Anders Lundkvist Eurokrisen, så også ikke-økonomer kan forstå den. Hvordan den er opstået, hvordan den er forløbet og hvordan udsigterne er. Skyldes krisen staternes fråds? Eller skyldes den snarere, at bankerne fik lov at fortsætte uden væsentlige reguleringer og uden samfundsansvar? Hvilken rolle spiller den Europæiske Centralbank? Nedskæringspolitikken og neoliberalismen har, i Nord- såvel som i Syd, gjort ondt værre for skatteyderne og for det store befolkningsflertal, men til gengæld er det en kurs, der har beriget bankerne. De skiftende regeringer har valgt at beskytte finanskapitalen og bankerne gennem de såkaldte ”bankpakker”, hvor skatteyderne med statsstøtte i milliardklassen er blevet pålagt at holde finanskapitalen skadesløs. I perioder overtog bankfolk regeringsledelsen i Italien og Grækenland, og flere og flere centrale økonomiske beslutninger træffes af den Europæiske Centralbank og den Europæiske Domstol. Den herskende politik i Euro-zonen og dens omegn truer derfor ikke blot almindelige menneskers levestandard og beskæftigelse, men også demokratiet – det er i kortform bogens perspektiver – og Anders Lundkvists synspunkter.

Henrik Christoffersen er tidligere forskningschef i den liberale tænketank CEPOS og mangeårig iagttager og kritiker af det danske velfærdssamfund. I sin nyeste bog går han i rette med de faste forestillinger om lighedens velsignelser og statens monopol på velfærd.Lighed har været velfærdsstatens sande dna siden velfærdsstatens dannelse. Frem til 1980’erne blev den økonomiske ulighed mellem danskerne da også stadig mindre. Herefter, og altså i mere end fire årtier, er uligheden imidlertid øget år for år. Bogen eftersøger, hvad der ligger bag.Det var ikke realistisk fortsat at øge skattetrykket efter begyndelsen af 1980’erne, og der opstod nye prioriteringer i dansk politik. Stort set alle økonomiske reformer i de senere år har i sig selv øget den økonomiske ulighed. Det er en udvikling, som sætter spørgsmålstegn ved, om ligheden overhovedet har været en grundlæggende værdi for danskerne, eller om udviklingen blot har været drevet af trangen til økonomisk vinding for det bestemmende flertal.
