Future Economics

Kaum eine Wirtschaft steckt die Pandemie so gut weg wie die deutsche, noch immer ist sie im internationalen Vergleich erfolgreich. Doch vor der romantischen Kulisse von chromblitzenden Maschinen und Weltmarktführern aller Art hat sich schon lange vor Corona ein drängender Haufen Zukunftsfragen aufgetürmt. Die Digitalisierung, die Perspektiven der Schlüsselindustrie Automobil oder die Dekarbonisierung der Wirtschaft generell: Vielen Unternehmen fehlt es an eigenen Ideen, wie eine nachhaltige Wertschöpfung aussehen könnte.

But the NHS has also become a battleground for some of the fiercest political contests of our time; perceived as a national treasure that needs to be preserved at all costs, and as a lumbering piece of state machinery in need of renovation.

Der Essay "Soziales Klima" durchmisst das Feld der Sozialen Nachhaltigkeit mit den Mitteln einer ganzheitlichen, an Hegel und Parsons informierten Soziologie.

Jusqu'à présent, nous avons pu maintenir notre niveau de vie par l'endettement. Mais c'est fini.
