Hoeveel is genoeg?
geld en het verlangen naar een goed levenIedereen heeft de mond vol van ‘goed leven’. Maar wat houdt dat eigenlijk in? En waarom werken we ons te pletter om steeds meer rijkdom te vergaren? Het zijn vragen die ons nog meer bezighouden sinds de economische crisis is losgebarsten. Robert en Edward Skidelsky zoeken een antwoord bij de Britse econoom John Maynard Keynes. Die voorspelde in 1930 dat we binnen de eeuw in een land van melk en honing zouden leven: ons inkomen zou alleen maar toenemen en we zouden niet meer dan vijftien uur per week moeten werken. De Skidelsky’s vertellen hoe en waarom Keynes zich heeft vergist. Volgens hen heeft de economie een morele dimensie gehad sinds het begin van onze beschaving. Die zijn we uit het oog verloren. Daarom moeten we opnieuw bepalen wat in ons leven echt belangrijk is.‘De Skidelsky’s laten abstracte ideeën naadloos overgaan in concrete voorbeelden, en filosofie in beleid.’ The Independent

What’s Wrong with Economics?
A Primer for the Perplexed“[A]n important and fundamentally correct critique of the core methodology of economics: individualistic; analytical; ahistorical; asocial; and apolitical.”—Martin Wolf, Financial Times“This impassioned critique aims to show how economic laws have limited scope compared with the laws in natural science. To be effective, Skidelsky argues, economics must include institutions and their power, and move towards social sciences such as politics and sociology.”—Andrew Robinson, Nature“[T]his book is a staple for trying to quench curiosity and a great bridge from a bachelor’s in standard economics to economic methodology and the philosophy of economics.”—Ella Needler and Maria João Pimenta, Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics“[Skidelsky] argues that the insights of behavioural economics, and other heterodoxies, are either ignored or treated as special cases of only limited relevance. All of this has resonance.”—Bridget Rosewell, Society of Professional Economists“Skidelsky’s book is a much-needed contribution to the ongoing debate of the shortcomings of mainstream economics and its economic policy suggestions. . . . I think that the book should be essential reading not only for all students of economics but for everyone who is interested in a deeper understanding of major contemporary economic and political issues.”—Stavros A. Drakopoulos, History of Economic Ideas“Robert Skidelsky has written the book that anyone who wants to learn economics—and anyone who thinks that they know economics—should read.”—Meghnad Desai, author of Hubris: Why Economists Failed to Predict the Crisis and How to Avoid the Next One“This is a cogent and highly readable exposure of economics as a discourse, often free from the constraints of history and politics, and therefore free to inhabit an imaginary world underpinned by the seductive verities of logic and mathematics. It also helps to explain why 2008 took the whole world by surprise.”—Gareth Stedman Jones, author of An End to Poverty?“Skidelsky gives a wonderfully readable, compelling and compassionate account of where economics goes wrong. This is an urgent message for all sides to hear.”—Nancy Cartwright, professor of philosophy, Durham University

Werden wir ersetzt?
Es ist ein alter Menschheitstraum, von Mühsal und Not befreit zu sein. Ein Traum, der durch die rasante technologische Entwicklung sowohl zu einer realistischen Perspektive als auch zu einer realen Bedrohung wird, wenn nur einige wenige von diesem Fortschritt profitieren, während er für zu viele mit Arbeitslosigkeit, Abhängigkeit und Armut einhergeht. Zeit, sich die Grundfragen neu zu stellen: Kontrollieren wir die Maschinen oder kontrollieren die Maschinen - und die, denen sie gehören - uns? Was droht uns im Fortschrittswahn verloren zu gehen? Wie können wir eine gerechte Arbeitswelt und ein gutes Leben für alle organisieren? Robert Skidelsky erzählt kenntnisreich die wechselhafte Beziehung von Mensch und Maschine: Wie haben führende Denker, von der Antike bis ins 21. Jahrhundert, über den technischen Fortschritt - von den ersten Werkzeugen bis zur künstlichen Intelligenz - und seine Auswirkungen auf die Menschheit nachgedacht? Ein grundlegendes Buch zu den drängenden Fragen unserer Zeit, das uns zeigt, auf was wir jetzt achten müssen, damit wir unsere Zukunft in der eigenen Hand behalten.

Ne Kadari Yeterli
Iyi bir yasam nedir Böyle bir yasama ulasmak, onu sürdürmek icin neler yapmaliyiz Acaba herkes benim hayattaki amacim cok fazla para kazanmaktir dediginde bu ne anlama gelecektir Böyle bir amac iyi bir yasami getirecek midir Ünlü ekonomist Robert Skidelsky ile oglu felsefeci Edward Skidelsky, Ne Kadari Yeterli Para Sevgisi ve Iyi Yasam Mücadelesi adli eserlerinde iste bu sorulara cevap ararken, daha fazla para kazanma arzusunun bicimlendirdigi ekonomik doyumsuzluga ve artik yeter dememizi önleyen psikolojik egilime karsi önemli tezler gelistiriyor. Bunun icin Keynesin 1930da yazdigi Torunlarimizin Ekonomik Olanaklari makalesinde öngördügü kehanetinin gerceklesmemesinden yola cikarak önemli tespitlerde bulunan yazarlar, Keynesin esasinda kapitalizmin kötülüklerinin farkinda oldugunu ancak bunun servetin büyüyerek, adil bir bicimde paylasildiginda ortadan kalkacagina inandigini, bu nedenle yanildigini vurguluyorlar. Yazarlara göre, serbest piyasa ekonomisi; isverenlere calisma saat ve kosullarini istedikleri gibi düzenleme gücü verirken, bizim de icimizdeki rekabetci, statü elde etmeye yönelik tüketim egilimini alevlendirip, para kazanmayi insanligin temel ticari güdüsü haline getirmekte, bu da doyumsuzlugu beslemektedir. Skidelskyler kitaplarinda, felsefe ve ekonomi biliminin bakis acilarini, bu iki disiplinin birbirine ihtiyaci oldugu düsüncesiyle biraraya getirirken; kapitalizmin yarattigi servetin uygar bir kullanima sokulmasi gerektigini de vurguluyorlar.

Para ve Devlet
Ekonomideki baskin görüse göre para bir degisim aracindan baska bir sey degildir ve ekonomi piyasanin görünmez eline teslim edildiginde en iyi sonuclar elde edilir. Paranin düzensizlesmedikce önem tasimadigi ve piyasaya devlet müdahalesinin genellikle isleri daha da kötülestirdigi varsayimi makroiktisat politikalarinda egemen görüs olagelmistir. Oysa 1929-1932 Büyük Buhrani ortodoks ekonominin varsayimlarini bosa cikarmisti. Ardindan devlet, isverenler ve sendikalar arasinda olusan istikrarsiz güc dengesi, Keynesyen politikalarin Bati dünyasinin yeni iktisadi paradigmasi olarak ortaya cikmasini sagladi. Ne var ki 1970lerin stagflasyonu Keynesyen politikanin tümden reddine yol acti. Yaklasik 30 yil sonra gerceklesen 2008 mali cöküsünün yol actigi küresel dramin basrolünde bu kez para ve devlet varken, iktisat onlara hak ettikleri basrolleri vermekten cok uzak kaldi. 2008den beri yeni bir büyük fikir ortaya cikmadigi gibi, ortodoks ekonomi bizleri anemik bir küresel ekonomiyle bas basa birakan cezalandirici kemer sikma politikalarini yasalastirarak egemenligini hala sürdürüyor. Günümüzün en seckin politik iktisatcilarindan Robert Skidelsky, okurlari Keynesin büyük fikirinin temel unsurlariyla tanistirmayi ve iktisadin kati bir bilim olmadigini göstermeyi; ayrica gelecek nesil iktisatcilari kavramsal hapishanelerinden kurtulmalari ve para ve devlete hak ettikleri rolleri vermeleri icin cesaretlendirmeyi amacliyor. Makroekonomiyi yeniden bir analiz birimi haline getirerek okurlara 2008-2009 ekonomik cöküsünün Keynesyen cözümlemesini sunan Para ve Devlet, iktisat biliminin gecmisine, gelecegine ve nasil degismesi gerektigine dair elestirel bir inceleme.
