In diesem E-Book haben wir das komplexe Thema des Geldes von verschiedenen Perspektiven beleuchtet und insbesondere die Schwächen und Herausforderungen unseres gegenwärtigen Geldsystems eingehend untersucht.

Diese Schwächen verlangen nach einer intensiven Diskussion über Reformen und Alternativen, um ein Geldsystem zu schaffen, das den Bedürfnissen der Gesellschaft besser gerecht wird.Die Zukunft des Geldes verspricht tiefgreifende Veränderungen, angefangen bei der Digitalisierung und der Verbreitung von Kryptowährungen bis hin zu goldgedeckten Währungen und Deftig. Diese Entwicklungen bieten sowohl Chancen als auch Risiken und erfordern eine umfassende Vorbereitung und Bildung. Die Rolle der Regulierung und Governance in dieser Zukunft ist von entscheidender Bedeutung, um die Sicherheit und Stabilität des Geldsystems zu gewährleisten, ohne die Innovationskraft zu ersticken.Es ist an der Zeit, die Probleme unseres gegenwärtigen Geldsystems anzuerkennen und aktiv nach Lösungen zu suchen.

Es ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass es nicht die eine "richtige" Lösung gibt, sondern vielmehr eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten und Herangehensweisen, die je nach Kontext und Zielsetzung in Betracht gezogen werden sollten.Die Debatte über die Zukunft des Geldes betrifft uns alle, unabhängig von unserem Hintergrund und unserer Expertise.

Suppose I told you there was a "pin" which burst every major economic bubble of the industrial age. And suppose that "pin" left a signal in data preceding the ensuing economic crash. Suppose that prior to 1929, 1973, 1980, and 2008, that "pin" appeared months and sometimes years before the crisis went mainstream. In Breakdown: The economic impact of peak oil, Tim Watkins argues that the "pin" was a shortage of the world's primary energy source. In 1927, a global coal shortage caused prices to spike upward, raising costs across the economy and - particularly in the USA - bringing the boom of the "roaring twenties" to an end. The 1929 Wall Street crash and the Great Depression of the 1930s followed. In the late 1960s, as US oil production reached its peak, the Texas Railroad Commission cartel lost its ability to fix world prices. As the oil price rose, inflation hit those western states which had been deficit spending on everything from social programs to wars. The consequence was the end of the post-war currency system and the arrival of the OPEC cartel, whose October 1973 oil embargo gave the west - which was a lot less dependent on oil in those days - a taste of how difficult life would be if the oil stopped flowing. In 1979, it was the Iranian Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War (not St. Paul Volcker) which drove oil prices up, triggering the depression which brought inflation (but not stagnation) to an end.This time is differentThese crises were each temporary. By 1929, the USA was leading the way to the oil age. The developed world would follow between 1945 and 1973. And even with the arrival of OPEC, there was no appetite for depriving the world economy of oil. Indeed, despite the rate of oil production falling after 1973, the volume continued to grow right up to November 2018. But in 2005, conventional crude had peaked, setting in chain the events leading to the 2008 crash... which inadvertently created the conditions for the brief expansion of the US fracking industry. But by the end of 2018, all oil production - including condensates and natural gas liquids - was in decline. Even without the pandemic lockdowns, we would have had a recession. But with growing evidence that we have passed peak oil production, and with no energy-dense alternative power source, not only is a deep recession inevitable, but - barring an energy miracle - the western way of life is over. A shrinking economy is now inevitable.

This book explores the causes of rising income inequality within industrialised, developing, and emerging economies. The development of finance capitalism over the last 40 years is charted to highlight how the neoliberal restructuring of national and global economies has driven income inequality. With case studies from the USA, South Korea, Argentina, and Sweden, a comparative analysis is presented to reveal how financialisation facilitates uneven capital accumulation and generates conditions that increase income inequality.This book aims to outline an analytical framework for a financialisation-induced income inequality nexus. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the political economy and financial economics.

The book provides an overview of the Slow Onset Disasters (SLOD) in the urban built environment discussing potential strategies to assess and mitigate multiple climate change related risks. Climate change evidence has been reported in the last decades, suggesting that the anthropogenic activities are accelerating these changes towards a warmer and more polluted environment. In this context, SLODs have been linked to climate change related disasters and have been stated to have a higher impact risk within dense built environment (BE). Therefore, the book presents a description of the most relevant SLODs, their significance, and confluence, the way in which scientists and entities are monitoring their progression at different scales, a structured risk assessment strategy and the deconstruction of the BE characteristics that make it more prone to SLODs risk. In addition, it highlights the necessity of adapting the traditional risk assessment methods, to account for different vulnerabilitytypes, including the morphology and materiality of the BE, and the BE users¿ characteristics. In fact, individual features influence users¿ responses and tolerance to environmental stressors, because of age, health, gender, habits, and behaviour, thus impacting the users¿ vulnerability. Exposure can then amplify these issues, since it defines the number of users that can be effectively affected by the SLOD. Starting from this perspective, the book first traces literature-based correlations between individual features, use behaviour, and individual response to the SLOD-altered open spaces. Then, a novel methodology, to quantify the variations of users¿ vulnerability and exposure, is offered, to support designers in quickly defining input scenarios for risk assessment and mitigation. Lastly, it demonstrates, through a case study, the SLOD risk assessment framework proposed and the evaluation of the efficacy of risk mitigation strategies.

Where does money come from? This provocative question lies at the heart of a compelling narrative that delves into the intricate world of finance and governance. The book exposes the absolute monopoly held by governments in the creation of money, a process often shrouded in mystery and misconception. It reveals how governments, regardless of their form - be it empires, kingdoms, democracies, dictatorships, or other structures - have historically manipulated the money creation process. The narrative unfolds to show how governments, under the guise of independence, instruct central banks to generate money, thereby profiting the government at the expense of its citizens. This deception is likened to historical practices where Kings and Emperors debased precious metal coins for personal gain. In today's digital age, the technique has evolved, but the essence remains the same: governments create money digitally and introduce it as an unrepayable debt, effectively siphoning value and wealth from the populace. This insightful book not only uncovers the hidden mechanics of monetary systems but also sheds light on the real losers in this game: everyday individuals like you and me. It's a revealing exploration of how financial systems and governmental policies intertwine, impacting the wealth and well-being of global citizens.
