Podcast appearances and mentions of Isabella M Weber

In Folge 31 schauen wir in die USA und analysieren die neuerliche Wahl Donald Trumps. Denn wenn man mal etwas tiefer einsteigt und sich die ökonomischen Zusammenhänge ansieht, lassen sich durchaus sehr konkrete Notwendigkeiten für eine neue, linke Politik ableiten. Anhand der Kommentierungen der Ökonomin Isabella M. Weber stellen wir die Frage, ob es nun Zeit ist für einen „ökonomischen Antifaschismus“ und verabschieden Christian Lindner, die mit seiner FDP sinnbildlich für das steht, was Menschen „Rechtsruck“ nennen.

Seit Monaten streitet die Ampel-Koalition über den Industriestrompreis. Das von Wirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck vorgeschlagene Konzept sieht vor, dass energieintensive Unternehmen ihren Strom vergünstigt erhalten sollen, den Rest soll der Staat übernehmen. Damit weiterhin ein Anreiz zum Stromsparen gegeben ist, sollen nur 80 Prozent des durchschnittlichen historischen Verbrauchs auf diese Weise subventioniert werden. Habeck, aber auch die Länderchefs, sehen den Industriestrompreis als eine notwendige Bedingung, um die Abwanderung von Unternehmen zu verhindern. Dem widersprechen jedoch nicht nur Klimaaktivisten, sondern auch die FDP und die meisten Wirtschaftsweisen. Finanzminister Christian Lindner will den Staatshaushalt nicht mit dieser Subventionsmaßnahme belasten, dies ist aber nicht der einzige Grund, weshalb sich die FDP gegen den Industriestrompreis wendet. Und dieses Mal müssen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ den Liberalen zustimmen!

China ist in einer heiklen Lage: Zwar hatte die Kommunistische Partei bereits 2014 verkündet, dass man 2030 der weltweit führende Produktionsstandort für Halbleiter sein will, doch momentan ist die Abhängigkeit von den USA, Südkorea, Japan und Taiwan noch sehr hoch, weshalb westliche Sanktionen Peking arg zu schaffen machen. Trotzdem erzielt die Volksrepublik erste Erfolge bei der Fertigung von Chips, vor allem können inzwischen Halbleiter für Autos, Medizintechnik und die Industrie 4.0 hergestellt werden. Woran es aber hapert, sind die Cutting-Edge-Chips. So werden die neuesten und fortschrittlichsten Halbleiterchips, die auf dem Markt verfügbar sind, genannt – womit man bei 14- oder gar 7-Nanometer-Prozessen angelangt ist. Diese Chips können in verschiedenen Bereichen eingesetzt werden, wie zum Beispiel in Smartphones und Tablets, vor allem aber sind sie für Künstliche Intelligenzen entscheidend. Gewissermaßen ist Souverän, wer über die Produktion dieser Hightech-Chips verfügt. Diese besonders wichtigen Halbleiter werden aber überwiegend in Taiwan hergestellt, was die geopolitische Gemengelage nicht einfacher macht. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt über Chinas Chipstrategie. Werbung: Hier geht es zum neuen Buch von Isabella M.

Warum wir die Angst vor Preiskontrollen ablegen solltenIn dieser Folge Dichtung & Wahrheit spricht Laura de Weck mit Isabella M. Weber. Schon lange bevor uns die Inflation traf, forschte die Ökonomin zu diesem Thema, das sie auch in ihrem aktuellen Buch behandelt. Im Podcast spricht sie darüber, warum vereinzelte Preiskontrollen durchaus sinnvoll sein können und nicht gleich in eine Planwirtschaft münden müssen. Daher empfiehlt sie bei bestimmten Marktmechanismen den Blick nach China und erklärt, wie wir den Markt zur Entwicklung einer grüneren Wirtschaft nutzen können.Isabella M. Weber ist Professorin für Volkswirtschaftslehre an der University of Massachusetts Amherst. In ihrem Buch Das Gespenst der Inflation zeichnet sie die Debatten um die Neugestaltung des chinesischen Wirtschaftssystems nach und zeigt, wie es dort gelang, die Inflation zu begrenzen.Wer errät, ob die persönliche Anekdote von Isabella M. Weber am Ende der Folge wahr oder erfunden ist, hat die Chance, eins von drei signierten Exemplaren ihres Buchs Das Gespenst der Inflation zu gewinnen. Die Auflösung gibt es dann am 15.06.2023 auf www.suhrkamp.de/podcast.Das Buch zur Folge»Das Gespenst der Inflation« von Isabella M. Weber Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Robert Misik im Gespräch mit Isabella Weber DAS GESPENST DER INFLATIONWie China der Schocktherapie entkam Nach dem Ende von Maos Herrschaft stand die politische Führung in China Ende der siebziger Jahre vor gewaltigen Problemen: Wie sollte sie das bankrotte Wirtschaftssystem neu erfinden? Wie eine galoppierende Inflation vermeiden, die als Schreckgespenst durch das Land spukte? Durch Schocktherapie oder schrittweise Reformen? Letztendlich obsiegten die Kräfte, die für einen staatlich gelenkten Wandel plädierten. Anders als Russland, das nach dem Zusammenbruch des Kommunismus in einen katastrophalen Abwärtsstrudel geriet, erlebte China einen beispiellosen Aufstieg. Isabella M. Weber, eine der bedeutendsten Ökonominnen ihrer Generation, zeichnet in ihrem hoch gelobten Buch die damaligen Debatten um die Neugestaltung des chinesischen Wirtschaftssystems minutiös nach und ordnet diese Diskussionen in die langen Traditionen des ökonomischen Denkens im Reich der Mitte und des Westens ein. Insbesondere zeigt sie, wie es gelang, die Inflation zu begrenzen. Chinas Weg zurück in die Weltwirtschaft, so Weber, ist nicht nur die Geschichte einer einzigartigen Transformation. Angesichts der Verwerfungen auf den Energiemärkten und der dramatisch gestiegenen Lebenshaltungskosten sind die Auseinandersetzungen um Preiskontrollen und andere staatliche Eingriffe zudem lehrreich für aktuelle Debatten. Isabella Weber, ÖkonominRobert Misik, Autor und Journalist Isabella M. Weber, geboren 1987 in Nürnberg, ist Professorin für Volkswirtschaftslehre an der University of Massachusetts Amherst. Einer breiten Öffentlichkeit wurde sie durch ihren (gemeinsam mit dem Volkswirt Sebastian Dullien) ins Gespräch gebrachten Vorschlag eines Gaspreisdeckels bekannt.

China has become deeply integrated into the world economy. Yet, gradual marketization has facilitated the country's rise without leading to its wholesale assimilation to global neoliberalism. This book uncovers the fierce contest about economic reforms that shaped China's path. In the first post-Mao decade, China's reformers were sharply divided. They agreed that China had to reform its economic system and move toward more marketization - but struggled over how to go about it. Should China destroy the core of the socialist system through shock therapy, or should it use the institutions of the planned economy as market creators? With hindsight, the historical record proves the high stakes behind the question: China embarked on an economic expansion commonly described as unprecedented in scope and pace, whereas Russia's economy collapsed under shock therapy. Based on extensive research, including interviews with key Chinese and international participants and World Bank officials as well as insights gleaned from unpublished documents, How China Escaped Shock Therapy: The Market Reform Debate (Routledge, 2021) charts the debate that ultimately enabled China to follow a path to gradual reindustrialization. Beyond shedding light on the crossroads of the 1980s, it reveals the intellectual foundations of state-market relations in reform-era China through a longue durée lens. Isabella M. Weber is a political economist working on China, global trade and the history of economic thought. She is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Research Leader for China at the Political Economy Research Institute. Host Peter Lorentzen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of San Francisco, where he leads a new Master's program in Applied Economics focused on the digital economy. His own research focuses on China's political economy and governance. Learn more about your ad choices.

Die Debatte um die Inflation kann auch intelligent geführt werden: Blair Fix und Isabella M. Weber haben sich jüngst mit zwei Neubewertungen der Inflation hervorgetan. Lange Zeit bestimmte die neoliberale Theorie von Milton Friedman die Diskussionen um Inflation. Folglich konzentrierte man sich auf die Höhe der Geldmenge und kritisierte die lockere Geldpolitik der Zentralbanken. Fix zeigt, dass dies ein großer Irrtum war, denn betrachtet wird dabei gar nicht differenziert, wie die einzelnen Preise sich verhalten. So paradox es klingen mag: Es kann gleichzeitig zu inflationären wie deflationären Tendenzen kommen – während beispielsweise die Preise für Energie rasant steigen, stagnieren die Preise für Kleidung. Ausgeklammert wird häufig auch, wie sehr vor allem große Unternehmen ihre Marktmacht für die Durchsetzung höherer Preise nutzen. Weber schlägt nicht zuletzt deshalb Preiskontrollen vor, die es in der Vergangenheit immer wieder gegeben hat. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“.

Speaker: Isabella Weber, Assistant Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts Amherst China has become deeply integrated into the world economy. Yet, gradual marketization has facilitated the country's rise without leading to its wholesale assimilation to global neoliberalism. This book uncovers the fierce contest about economic reforms that shaped China's path. In the first post-Mao decade, China's reformers were sharply divided. They agreed that China had to reform its economic system and move toward more marketization – but struggled over how to go about it. Should China destroy the core of the socialist system through shock therapy, or should it use the institutions of the planned economy as market creators? With hindsight, the historical record proves the high stakes behind the question: China embarked on an economic expansion commonly described as unprecedented in scope and pace, whereas Russia's economy collapsed under shock therapy. Based on extensive research, including interviews with key Chinese and international participants and World Bank officials as well as insights gleaned from unpublished documents, the book charts the debate that ultimately enabled China to follow a path to gradual reindustrialization. Beyond shedding light on the crossroads of the 1980s, it reveals the intellectual foundations of state-market relations in reform-era China through a longue durée lens. Overall, the book delivers an original perspective on China's economic model and its continuing contestations from within and from without. Isabella M. Weber is a political economist working on China, global trade and the history of economic thought. She is an Assistant Professor of Economics and the Research Leader for China of the Asian Political Economy Program at the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

China ist seinen ganz eigenen Weg gegangen – und der war bislang überaus erfolgreich, wie ein Vergleich besonders deutlich zeigt. Während in Russland das Wohlstandsniveau seit nunmehr 30 Jahren stagniert, ging es in der Volksrepublik nur aufwärts. Woran liegt das? Eine Studie der Ökonomin Isabella M. Weber ist dieser Frage nachgegangen und kommt zu erhellenden Einsichten: Während Russland auf die von Neoliberalen empfohlene Schock-Therapie setzte, wollte China den Preisen und dem Markt nicht einfach freien Lauf lassen, auch wenn Milton Friedman genau dies bei seinem China-Besuch in den 1980er-Jahren empfahl. Chinas Jahrtausende alte Geschichte ist auch eine der Preisregulierungen – darauf besann man sich, als man die Planwirtschaft in eine Marktwirtschaft verwandelte. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ erklären Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt Chinas Sonderweg. Literatur: Isabella M.

Concluding our discussion of Pettis & Klein's Trade Wars Are Class Wars, we take a deeper look at the authors' economic history of China from the Deng reforms to the current period. What are we to make of their claim that China today faces three alternatives, each hugely consequential for the country's economic viability: growing debt, increasing unemployment or a shift to household consumption? Other works under discussion include Isabella M. Weber's new book, How China Escaped Shock Therapy,  to compare the market reform period in China to other, far less successful historical developments in Eastern Europe; Alexander Gerschenkron's Economic Backwardness in Historical Perspective to explain how non-capitalist developing countries could overcome low productivity through state intervention; and finally, Maurice Meisner's Mao's China and After to help describe Deng Xiaoping's historical legacy, particularly as he relates to Pettis & Klein's argument for a return to the "spirit of '78." *“As China's economy continues to slow, the central government in Beijing will necessarily forge a new relation with China's various elite groups. New institutions will be created that will determine the nature of Chinese economic growth over the rest of the century. What that new relation and those new institutions will look like is anyone's guess. The best outcome is that income shifts from the elite to ordinary households: this is the rebalancing that should in principle reduce China's need to force its deficient domestic demand onto the rest of the world.” (Klein and Pettis, 2020) 

"A good knowledge of what happened in 1929 remains our best safeguard against the recurrence of the more unhappy events of those days", wrote John Kenneth Galbraith in The Great Crash 1929 – first published in 1954 and re-published in May 2021 as a Penguin Modern Classic. Written over one summer in the Baker Library at Dartmouth College, the book became an instant best-seller and sales have spiked at every financial crisis since. In The Great Crash 1929, Galbraith, who died in 2006, wrote a pacey and witty classic of clearly written economics for the general reader packed with lessons for today. Some of these are picked out by his son, James Kenneth Galbraith, in his introduction written in the wake of the financial crash in 2008-09. Like his father, James Galbraith is an economist and public intellectual. He holds the Lloyd Bentsen Chair in Government/Business Relations at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and is professor in government at The University of Texas at Austin. *The author's own book recommendations are How China Escaped Shock Therapy: The Market Reform Debate by Isabella M. Weber (Routledge, 2021) and The Price of Peace: Money, Democracy, and the Life of John Maynard Keynes by Zachary Carter (Random House, 2020) Tim Gwynn Jones is an economic and political-risk analyst at Medley Global Advisors.
