According to conventional wisdom, innovation is best left to the dynamic entrepreneurs of the private sector, and government should get out of the way. But what if all this was wrong? What if, from Silicon Valley to medical breakthroughs, the public sector has been the boldest and most valuable risk taker of all?

Histoire
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, capitalism was stuck. It had no answers to a host of problems, including disease, inequality, the digital divide and, perhaps most blatantly, the environmental crisis. Taking her inspiration from the 'moonshot' programmes which successfully co-ordinated public and private sectors on a massive scale, Mariana Mazzucato calls for the same level of boldness and experimentation to be applied to the biggest problems of our time.

Histoire
Who really creates wealth in our world? And how do we decide the value of what they do? At the heart of today's financial and economic crisis is a problem hiding in plain sight. In modern capitalism, value extraction is rewarded more highly than value creation: the productive process that drives a healthy economy and society. From companies driven solely to maximise shareholder value to astronomically high prices of medicines justified through big pharma's 'value pricing', we misidentify taking with making, and have lost sight of what value really means.

Histoire
David Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters, and scientists. He discovered that in most fields - especially those that are complex and unpredictable - generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale.

The stark issue at hand is whether we will be the masters of information and machines or its slaves.

Histoire
Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

Histoire
Once upon a time, the world was neatly divided into prosperous and backward economies. Babies were plentiful, workers outnumbered retirees and people aspiring towards the middle class yearned to own homes and cars. Companies didn't need to see any further than Europe and the US to do well. Printed money was legal tender for all debts. We grew up learning how to 'play the game', and we expected the rules to remain the same as we took our first job, started a family, saw our children grow up and went into retirement with our finances secure. That world - and those rules - are over.

Economics is broken. It has failed to predict, let alone prevent, financial crises that have shaken the foundations of our societies. Its outdated theories have permitted a world in which extreme poverty persists while the wealth of the super-rich grows year on year. And its blind spots have led to policies that are degrading the living world on a scale that threatens all of our futures. Can it be fixed?

Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show in this book, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past 30 years.

From the United States and Britain to continental Europe and beyond, liberal democracy is under siege, while authoritarianism is on the rise. In Twilight of Democracy, Anne Applebaum, an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities who was one of the first American journalists to raise an alarm about antidemocratic trends in the West, explains the lure of nationalism and autocracy. In this captivating essay, she contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.

When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small Online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications.

He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Deceiving title
- Écrit par : Axel le 04/10/2019
Description
The leading thinker and most visible public advocate of modern monetary theory - the freshest and most important idea about economics in decades - delivers a radically different, bold new understanding for how to build a just and prosperous society.
Any ambitious proposal - ranging from fixing crumbling infrastructure to Medicare for all or preventing the coming climate apocalypse - inevitably sparks questions: how can we afford it? How can we pay for it? Stephanie Kelton points out how misguided those questions really are by using the bold ideas of modern monetary theory (MMT), a fundamentally different approach to using our resources to maximise our potential as a society.
We've been thinking about government spending in the wrong ways, Kelton argues, on both sides of the political aisle. Everything that both liberal/progressives and conservatives believe about deficits and the role of money and government spending in the economy is wrong, especially the fear that deficits will endanger long-term prosperity.
Through illuminating insights about government debt, deficits, inflation, taxes, the financial system and financial constraints on the federal budget, Kelton dramatically changes our understanding of how to best deal with important issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs and building infrastructure. Rather than asking the self-defeating question of how to pay for the crucial improvements our society needs, Kelton guides us to ask: which deficits actually matter? What is the best way to balance the risk of inflation against the benefits of a society that is more broadly prosperous, safer, cleaner and secure?
With its important new ways of understanding money, taxes and the critical role of deficit spending, MMT busts myths that prevent us from taking action because we can't get beyond the question of how to pay for it.

An excellent summary of MMT and really makes you question how we could run government fiscal policy.

MMT - what is it? Find out here - worth a listen
A well written book on a topic I did not know much about. Good thought provoking concepts presented in a very easy to listen way. Felt it went away from the basic MMT theory for some of the later chapters and became more of a wish list. It is - by design- mostly focused on the position of MMT for large nations / reserve currency issues etc. Would have been interested in how effective MMT could be for small nations that have to pay in another currency for needed items they can not produce - but understand this may be beyond the scope of this book. Overall a very useful listen - I don’t necessarily agree with everything- but very glad I listened to it. Enjoy

Preaching Modern Monetary Theory
The Author writes and speaks about a macro economic theory like a Preacher is preaching a new religion. People who don't believe that printing money will solve all depth problems are "blind", but by patiently explaining them MMT, some opened their eyes..... The book has too many reptitions. 1/5 of the lenght would have been enough.

I don't buy it
Speaker is okay.
For the rest it seems to me like wishful thinking. Nice sounding goals but in the end it comes down to:
Government can issue currency as it likes and buy everything that's for sale for it's policies.
Often mentioned to keep Inflation in check and how Inflation can be measured differently. Has anybody tried to buy a house recently ? For me asset price inflation is inflation since it is part of the stuff I want to own.
Talking about environment: We are just limited by Ressourcen Not Money supply. so if you use all ressources to the fullest, some might argue if this environmental friendly.
A big problem might be how to enable people to do stuff that is valuable while at the same time not destroying businesses that key is this stuff.
And if it is really of value, then the market economy has incentives to do business in these niches.
Biggest contra argument in my opinion:
It all runs under the assumption, that the people will continue to use the issued currency. I view the ability to inflate the money supply as the option to defecate in all people's purses holding the issued currency as the dilution takes place. Maybe people won't sell for fiat currency any longer, if this gets too extreme. Have you heard of these decentralized so called crsptocurrencies lately?
I try to hold the least amount of cash and bonds possible and comvert fiat to stuff I view as assets the fastest way I can (mostly stocks, even though priced historically high, but at the moment more trustworthy to me than most Crypto) since I don't want to hold it when another quintillion is created over night.
In case of Moslers kid's: if dad makes requests all to silly, do other stuff for your neighbor and earn other currency, that buys you other privileges.
If not possible And dad gets overly crazy with his requests, they could leave home as soon as old enough. Old enough may be dependent on the "pain caused by misallocation", the madness level of dads wishes to earn his cards.
I view myself as austrian school type and think people like Milton's Friedman got it mostly right. Basic income by negative income tax proposed by him doesn't sound that bad either, doesn't it?
Another good read:
Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell ("Enjoy the scarce ressources that have alternative uses" Mantra)
and
Economics by Mankiw &Taylor
