Since the Global Financial Crisis, economics has been under greater public scrutiny, revealing a crisis in the discipline. This represented a potential turning point on how economics should be thought and taught. Heterodox economics has played a prominent role in these discussions revolving around new economics thinking and pluralism in economics. Yet, its identity, aspirations, and pedagogy remain underexplored, contested, and somewhat opaque.This volume brings together sixteen interviews with leading economists to understand what heterodox economics is. How and why does an economist become heterodox? In which way do heterodox economists see themselves as ‘different’ from mainstream economics? The interviews shed light on what problems heterodox economists perceive in the mainstream; elucidate the different contexts under which they operate in higher education; and provide insights on their ontology and methodology. The reader will also find answers to the following questions about the nature and state of heterodox economics: Do heterodox economists have particular intellectual journeys, motives and aspirations? Is this reflected in their teaching practices and strategies to achieve social change? What is the relation between heterodox economics and the humanities and arts?Appealing to a diverse audience, including philosophers, sociologists and historians of economic thought, the book will be of great interest to anyone keen to find out more about the internal discussions in the economics discipline.

This is a ground-breaking book about the foundations of institutional economics. K. William Kapp presents the economic role of institutions for economic development, capital formation and technological dynamics in an easily accessible and comprehensive manner. As a front-rank 20th century institutional economist, Kapp pulls together arguments from a variety of sources, including Thorstein Veblen, John Kenneth Galbraith and Gunnar Myrdal, all of which emphasize the crucial role of institutions. The author cements institutional economics as a distinct and coherent framework of analysis to effectively address urgent socio-economic problems, such as environmental disruption and sustainable development.This book begins with a critique of conventional (neoclassical) economics and an overview of the antecedents of institutional economics. The core of the book is formed by the chapters on institutions, human economic behavior and needs, arguing that institutional change is key to directing economic development towards sustainable and adequate living conditions, rather than merely formal growth formulas. The final chapters provide the reader with the institutional theories of capital and technology, showing how capital formation and technological dynamics are determined by institutions, such as the principle of investment for profit. The appendix complements Kapp’s plea for institutional change with articles on science and technology, social costs, substantive economics, and circular and cumulative causation.This book is suited for readers at all levels who are interested in institutional economics, the history of economics thought, political economics as well as ecological and heterodox economics. Researchers and students will find it to be an easily accessible and a concise elaboration on the foundations of institutional economics.
Foundations of Non-Equilibrium Economics
The principle of circular and cumulative causation

This thought-provoking volume presents essays on the foundations of non-equilibrium economics, i.e. the principle of circular cumulative causation (CCC). This work presents empirical research on how the interplay of technology’s increasing returns to scale, institutions, resources, and economic policy leads to virtuous circles of economic growth and development, but also to vicious circles of social and ecological degradation. In particular, evidence is provided for the important role of the "development state" and strategic trade policy, economies of large-scale production in manufacturing, the regional level of development and community-based resource management regimes. While demonstrating CCC’s strength in generating empirical research, the book also provides insights into its philosophical foundations and intellectual history. Several essays trace the roots of this full-fledged theoretical framework back to Adam Smith, Classical Political Economy, Thorstein Veblen, Gunnar Myrdal, K. William Kapp and Nicholas Kaldor. As the most comprehensive collection of the growing body of CCC research to date, this book also reflects the emergence of an economic paradigm for understanding economic dynamics and for crafting viable development strategies for the 21st century. The volume will be of great interest to scholars of growth and development economics, institutional and evolutionary economics, political economy, and Post Keynesian economics from undergraduate to postgraduate research levels.

K. William Kapp’s heterodox theory of social costs proposes precautionary planning to pre-empt social costs and provide social benefits via socio-ecological safety standards that guarantee the gratification of basic human needs.Based on arguments from Thorstein Veblen, Karl Marx, and Max Weber, social costs are conceptualized as systemic and large-scale damages caused by markets. Kapp refutes neoclassical solutions, such as bargaining, taxation, and tort law, unmasking them as ineffective, inefficient, inconsistent, and too market-obedient.The chapters of this book present the social costs of markets and neoclassical economics, the social benefits of environmental controls, development planning, and the governance of science and technological standards. This book demonstrates the fruitfulness of the heterodox theory of social costs as a coherent framework to develop effective remedies for today’s urgent socio-ecological crises.This volume is suitable for readers at all levels who are interested in the theory of social costs, heterodox economics, and the history of economic thought.

In Zeiten immer knapper werdender öffentlicher Mittel gewinnt der Schutz des öffentlichen Vermögens mehr und mehr an Bedeutung. Diese Untersuchung geht der Frage nach, welchen Beitrag dabei § 263 StGB zu leisten vermag. Dazu beleuchtet die Studie zunächst eingehend den Schutzbereich des § 263 StGB in Bezug auf öffentliches Vermögen - bezieht dabei rechtsvergleichend auch die schweizerische und österreichische Betrugsdogmatik ein - und arbeitet sodann die Problematik des Vermögensschadens auf, die den Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bildet: Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Fragen aus dem Bereich des Anstellungsbetrugs. Darüber hinaus wird auch auf die aktuelle Problematik der sog. Haushaltsuntreue geblickt. Die Untersuchung kommt für § 263 StGB zu dem Ergebnis, daß sich dort - ohne daß es dazu der Annahme eines "wesensmäßigen" Unterschieds zwischen öffentlichem und privatem Vermögen bedarf - mit einer wirklich konsequent gehandhabten objektiv-individuellen Betrachtungsweise bei Angriffen auf öffentliches Vermögen sowohl kriminalpolitisch als auch dogmatisch befriedigende Ergebnisse erzielen lassen. Daneben zeigt die Arbeit die neuesten Beschreibungen zu einem verstärkten strafrechtlichen Schutz der finanziellen Interessen der Europäischen Gemeinschaften auf. In rechtshistorischer Hinsicht findet sich eine Darstellung der Behandlung des Betrugs zum Nachteil öffentlichen Vermögens in der DDR bzw. der Sowjetischen Besatzungszone.
