Ökonomi & Finanzen

Degrowth - Wachstumsrücknahme oder Postwachstum - ist ein provozierendes Schlagwort, aus dem sich inzwischen ein eigenes Forschungsfeld und ein neuer Bezugspunkt vielfältiger sozialökologischer Bewegungen entwickelt haben. Dieser Band stellt sieben Kritikformen dieses Einspruchs gegen die Hegemonie des Wirtschaftswachstums vor: ökologische, sozial-ökonomische und kulturelle Kritik, Kapitalismuskritik, feministische, Industrialismus- sowie Nord-Süd-Kritik. Darüber hinaus ist Postwachstum eine Vision für eine andere Gesellschaft und skizziert Pfade für eine systemische Transfomation. Der Band gibt einen Überblick zu Vorschlägen wie Wachstumsunabhängigkeit, Arbeitszeitverkürzung und Maximaleinkommen, außerdem erklärt er zentrale Konzepte wie Konvivialität, Selbstbestimmung und Care.

'A groundbreaking work . . . Federici has become a crucial figure for . . . a new generation of feminists' Rachel Kushner, author of The Mars RoomA cult classic since its publication in the early years of this century, Caliban and the Witch is Silvia Federici's history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages through the European witch-hunts, the rise of scientific rationalism and the colonisation of the Americas, it gives a panoramic account of the often horrific violence with which the unruly human material of pre-capitalist societies was transformed into a set of predictable and controllable mechanisms. It Is a study of indigenous traditions crushed, of the enclosure of women's reproductive powers within the nuclear family, and of how our modern world was forged in blood.'Rewarding . . . allows us to better understand the intimate relationship between modern patriarchy, the rise of the nation state and the transition from feudalism to capitalism' Guardian

'One of the smartest books of all time' Fortune'The hottest thinker in the world' Sunday TimesEveryone wants to succeed in life. But what causes some of us to be more successful than others? Is it really down to skill and strategy - or something altogether more unpredictable?This book is the bestselling sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. It is all about luck: more precisely, how we perceive luck in our personal and professional experiences. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the markets - we hear an entrepreneur has 'vision' or a trader is 'talented', but all too often their performance is down to chance rather than skill. It is only because we fail to understand probability that we continue to believe events are non-random, finding reasons where none exist.'An iconoclastic tour de force ... nothing escapes his Exocets' Evening Standard 'Brilliant' John Kay 'Excellent and thought-provoking ... an entertaining book' Financial Times 'Wall Street's principal dissident' Malcolm Gladwell

Investering har ingen alder, og det er aldrig for sent eller for tidligt at komme i gang. Er du begynder i investeringsverdenen, kan det imidlertid være svært at navigere rundt i en verden, som aldrig sover, hvor tal og grafer altid er i bevægelse, og hvor nye termer og fremmede begreber jævnligt dukker op. Det er en verden, hvor du let kan tabe overblikket i mængden af information, og hvor de muligheder og risici, der løbende opstår, nemt bliver overset. Bogen beskæftiger sig udelukkende med langsigtet investering i aktier, obligationer og investeringsbeviser for frie midler på det regulerede marked i Danmark. Udgangspunktet for investering er at opnå økonomisk gevinst. Du får et overblik over og en overordnet forståelse for investeringsverdenen, så du føler dig tilstrækkeligt klædt på til at kunne gå i gang i det tempo, der passer dig, med en erkendelse af, hvilke midler du kan tåle at investere, hvilken risikoprofil du har, og hvor lang tidshorisont du investerer med. Forfatternes formål med bogen er, på baggrund af egne erfaringer, at åbne døren til investeringsverdenen, som på mange måder kan virke svært tilgængelig. Men de videregiver også nogle af de ”dos and don’ts”, der er forbundet med at investere som begynder. De ved, hvordan det føles at være begynder i investeringsverdenen. De ved, hvilke usikkerheder og udfordringer du står over for som ny investor, og de har en grundig indsigt i de forhold, du skal være opmærksom på, og de forbehold du skal have, når du vil begynde at investere. Bogen er således inspireret af deres egen rejse fra usikre til selvsikre investorer. De repræsenterer deres egen målgruppe, og har derfor skrevet den bog, de selv havde brug for, da de gik i gang med at investere. Bogen henvender sig til dig – mand og kvinde, ung og gammel – der gerne vil i gang med at investere men ikke ved, hvor du skal begynde. Den er skrevet ud fra en overbevisning om, at alle kan lære at investere deres penge. Investering behøver nemlig ikke være svært, og det behøver ikke være forbeholdt de få. Du skal blot starte med at investere din tid og sætte dig grundigt ind i markedet. Forord af Tom Hougaard, Investor/daytrader og kommentator i Millionærklubben på Radio24syv.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls antifragile are things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish.In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. Here Taleb stands uncer tainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resil ient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better.What's more, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call "e;efficient"e; not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems and medicine, drawing on modern street wisdom and ancient sources.Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world.Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb's message is revolutionary: the antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it.Nassim Nicholas Taleb has devoted his life to problems of uncertainty, probability, and knowledge and has led three careers around this focus, as a businessman-trader, a philosophical essayist, and an academic researcher. Although he now spends most of his time working in intense seclusion in his study, in the manner of independent scholars, he is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University's Polytechnic Institute. His main subject matter is "e;decision making under opacity,"e; that is, a map and a protocol on how we should live in a world we don't understand.His books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan have been published in thirty-three languages.Taleb believes that prizes, honorary degrees, awards, and ceremonialism debase knowledge by turning it into a spectator sport.

This is a detailed and data-based book showing you tried and tested methods that actually work to allow you to grow your investment portfolio, in good times and in bad. This book is not just about anecdotal ideas that occasionally work. The methods contained within this book have been tested over years of data and the results are shown. The book also contains the recipe for making that kind of data-based analysis yourself. No more costly guesswork...This is the last book on Technical Analysis you'll ever need."Michael has shown empirical proof of the value of patterns in the markets. Anyone who has ever used an Excel sheet will definitely love this book, as well as for other reasons. This book is easy to endorse, and we should thank him for bringing this research to our attention." - Larry Pesavento, Trade What You See, Tucson, Arizona"To really understand the financial markets, it is my view that Technical Analysis has to be included in the picture. It has always been an important tool for me." - Lars Tvede, Zug, Switzerland"Super exciting reading if you are interested in investing, both for the beginner as well as for the experienced investor. The scientific approach to the development of an investment system is very fascinating and you feel a commitment beyond the usual by the author. No doubt that when a system has to be calculated with all possible variables in order to see the consequences of them, we have here to do with something that is most thoroughly tested. This applies to both the testing of movements and the choice of the asset to be invested in. Furthermore, the author's review of his emotions in connection with his ongoing development with the investments in the market is very relevant as it is often the biggest enemy of the investor. Further, the adding on methodology described in chapter 7 alone pays for this book" - Peter Henriksen, Mijas-Costa, SpainThis book is not like any other books about Technical Analysis and about making money trading. Other books tend to feature more theories than data, are more anecdotal than fact-based and they often leave the readers with more questions than answers. In this book, several methods of trading are tested on real data over months and years, so you can really see what works and what doesn't work is not only performed on historical data. The methods are fully explained, and shown in detail. After reading this book, you will be able to test your own ideas.
