Abstract:
When this series was conceived in autumn 2021, the economic policy environment was quite different. Policy-makers focussed on the challenges of implementing the Paris Agreement while overcoming the scars left by the Covid-19 pandemic. COP26 in Glasgow was a global event that attracted many heads of state and government. It was in this context that we started a series of three roundtables among economists and political scientists from both sides of the North Atlantic on how to transform our economies to meet the Paris Agreement's climate goals while addressing inequality and stabilising the financial system. We called this the "Great Turnaround" of our economies, which currently are moving at high speed towards a crash with planetary boundaries. As a background to the roundtables, we asked some participants to contribute short papers on certain aspects of the multifaceted challenges implied in the "Great Turnaround". In the process, drafts of the papers received comments from other participants. This publication aims at contributing to the emergence of a transformative economic thinking, integrating environmental, social, and economic dimensions, after the wreckage of neoliberal economic thought that clearly has reached its date of expiry. It is the product of a collaboration of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, the ZOE Institute for Future-Fit Economies, and Finanzwende Recherche.
Abstract (Translated):
Die Studie "Making the great turnaround work. Economic policy for a green and just transition" ist das Ergebnis einer Reihe von transatlantischen Round table-Gesprächen über die Zukunft der Wirtschaftspolitik, an denen bekannte Wirtschaftswissenschaftler*innen wie Adam Tooze, Daniela Gabor, Maja Göpel und Jean Pisani-Ferry teilnahmen. Die Veröffentlichung zielt darauf ab, zur Entstehung eines transformativen Wirtschaftsdenkens beizutragen, das ökologische, soziale und wirtschaftliche Dimensionen integriert, nachdem das neoliberale Wirtschaftsdenken angesichts der in den letzten 40 Jahren enorm angewachsenen, unbewältigten Herausforderungen sein Verfallsdatum deutlich überschritten hat. Die Studie ist das Ergebnis einer Zusammenarbeit der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, Finanzwende & Zoe Institut für zukunftsfähige Ökonomien. Eine gute Zusammenfassung und Orientierung bietet der Leitartikel (dt.) von Jonathan Barth, Jakob Hafele und Adam Tooze, der skizziert, wie eine langfristige Wirtschaftspolitik aussehen könnte. Vertiefende Informationen bieten Artikel, die vier übergreifenden Themen zugeordnet sind: - Finance, central banks and fiscal policy - The role of the state, investments and industrial policy - The social foundation and it's implications for the political economy - A shared (growth) agenda for the future of economic policy.
