North Korea is one of the most troubled societies on earth. The country's 24 million people live under a violent dictatorship led by a single family, which relentlessly pursues the development of nuclear arms, which periodically incites risky military clashes with the larger, richer, liberal South, and which forces each and every person to play a role in the "theater state" even as it pays little more than lip service to the wellbeing of the overwhelming majority.

Early in the 21st century, a quiet revolution occurred. For the first time, the major developed economies began to invest more in intangible assets, like design, branding, R&D, or software, than in tangible assets, like machinery, buildings, and computers. For all sorts of businesses, from tech firms and pharma companies to coffee shops and gyms, the ability to deploy assets that one can neither see nor touch is increasingly the main source of long-term success.

Kein Platz für Banken im digitalen Zeitalter: Finanzkrise hin, Eurokrise her. Kaum jemand glaubt, dass sich das Finanzsystem inzwischen wesentlich verbessert hat. Das Problem sind die Banken. Ihre Finanzinnovationen der Vergangenheit wurden zum Brandbeschleuniger der letzten Finanzkrise. Und jetzt sind sie drauf und dran, sich die aufstrebende Fintech-Industrie einzuverleiben und damit die Hoffnung auf ein transparenteres und besseres Finanzsystem zu zerschlagen.

China ist keine ferne Bedrohung mehr, China ist da! Politisch und wirtschaftlich. Das Reich der Mitte ist ehrgeizig, schnell und gut organisiert, es ist innovativ wie das Silicon Valley und bestimmt zunehmend die internationalen Spielregeln. China setzt auf Wachstum und digitale Technologien und hält sich nicht mit dem westlichen Demokratiemodell auf. Auf allen Kontinenten investiert es in Bodenschätze, Schlüsselindustrien und Infrastruktur - auch bei uns.

Ein Insider schildert den wirtschaftlichen Aufstieg in China: Analyse und Prognose zugleich.
China steigt zur größten Volkswirtschaft der Welt auf und könnte schon in wenigen Jahren die amerikanische Wirtschaft überholen. Konrad Seitz erzählt die dramatische Geschichte Chinas: von der Jahrtausende alten Geschichte Chinas und seiner "vollendeten Zivilisation", vom Zusammenbruch der konfuzianischen Welt im 19. Jahrhundert und der Verzweiflung der Chinesen an ihrer eigenen Kultur, und von der Geburt des neuen China seit 1949.

Standort Deutschland ist ein Hort von trägen, selbstzufriedenen Besitzstandwahrern, diagnostiziert ein Chor von Experten und verlangt, dass wir so mobil, flexibel und risikobereit wie die Amerikaner werden. Alles ist auf dem Prüfstand: der Sozialstaat, die Gewerkschaften, unsere Stabilitätskultur, unsere Ordnungspolitik. Alles Unsinn, sagt Detlef Gürtler und fordert Schluss mit dem Gejammer über vermeintliche Schwächen, die in Wahrheit unsere Stärken sind. Detlef Gürtler, Jahrgang 1964, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin, Marbella und Rüschlikon bei Zürich.

America is in decline, and the rise of the East suggests a bleak future for the world’s only superpower - so goes the conventional wisdom. But what if the traditional measures of national status are no longer as important as they once were? What if America’s well-being was assessed according to entirely different factors? In The Upside of Down, Charles Kenny argues that America’s so-called decline is only relative to the newfound success of other countries.

After a decade of rapid growth, the world’s most celebrated emerging markets are poised to slow down. Which countries will rise to challenge them? To identify the economic stars of the future, we should abandon the habit of extrapolating from the recent past and lumping wildly diverse countries together. We need to remember that sustained economic success is a rare phenomenon. As an era of easy money and easy growth comes to a close, China in particular will cool down.
