The Demise of Finance-Dominated Capitalism goes well beyond the
dominant interpretation that the recent financial and economic
crises are rooted in malfunctioning and poorly regulated financial
markets. The book provides an overview of different theoretical,
historical and empirical perspectives on the long-run transition
towards finance-dominated capitalism, on the implications for
macroeconomic and financial stability, and ultimately on the recent
global financial and economic crises. In the first part of the book
the macroeconomics of finance-dominated capitalism, the theories of
financial crisis and important past crises are reviewed. The second
part deals with the 2007-09 financial and economic crises in
particular, and discusses five explanations of the crises in more
detail. The special focus of the book is the long-run problems and
inconsistencies of finance-dominated capitalism that played a key
role in the crisis and its severity. The comprehensive literature
reviews on the issues of financialization and economic crises will
be a valuable aid to students. Policy makers will find the broader
views on the causes of the recent financial and economic crises and
the contradictions of finance-dominated capitalism of great
interest. Alternative views on the long-run developments towards
financialization, as well as on the relationships of these
developments with the recent financial crises, will appeal to
researchers in this field. Contributors: R. Barradas, N. Budyldina,

Financialisation and the Financial and Economic Crises provides
comparative, empirical case studies of a diverse set of eleven
countries. In particular, the book helps in understanding the
current (mal)performance of Euro area economies by explaining the
causes of the shifts in growth regimes during and after the crises.
It goes well beyond the dominant interpretation of the recent
financial and economic crises as being rooted in malfunctioning and
poorly regulated financial markets. The contributions to this book
provide detailed accounts of the long-term effects of
financialisation and cover the main developments leading up to and
during the crisis in eleven selected countries: the US, the UK,
Spain, Greece, Portugal, Germany, Sweden, Italy, France, Estonia,
and Turkey. The introductory chapter presents the theoretical
framework and synthesizes the main findings of the country studies.
Furthermore, the macroeconomic effects of financialisation on the
EU as a whole are analyzed in the final chapter. Offering an
illuminating overview and invaluable alternative perspective on the
long-run developments leading to the recent crises, this book is
essential reading for researchers, students and policymakers and an
ideal starting point for further research. Contributors: S. Bahce,

This book provides an up-to-date overview of the development of the
German financial system, with a particular focus on
financialization and the financial crisis, topics that have
increasingly gained attention since the crisis and the discussion
on the secular stagnation started. The authors of the
book-economists who have conducted extensive research in this
area-offer a perspective on the financial system in the context of
its importance for the overall economic system. The book not only
provides detailed insights into Germany's financial system; it also
takes a broader perspective on finance and connects it with current
macroeconomic developments in Germany.

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Economics -
Macro-economics, general, grade: 1,0, Berlin School of Economics,
course: Arbeitsmarkte und Sozialstaat in Europa, language: English,
abstract: Though EU commissar pidla speaks, in 2006, about a
"demographic time bomb" which needs to be disarmed1, a study
suggests that back in 2003 52 percent of the German population has
not even heard about the term "demographic change." Even if these
figures are a bit outdated they show that discussion concerning
this topic continues between experts and politicians and has been a
long-time taking to reach the broader populace. Nowadays, word has
spread. The topic has become more pressing on political agendas,
national and international summits. In the 2007 Adecco Fitness
Survey, European companies invision the demographic change as the
second biggest business challenge, following Globalization. The UN
has been pressing the issue of ageing populations since the 1940s
and forecasts that the number of people over 60 years old will have
tripled by 2050. For the first time in history, this figure will
exceed that of the number of children (0 - 14 years). However,
these aggregated figures do not show that these developments have
taken place differently across the globe. Europe is experiencing
the most rapid ageing, and the number of old people is already
higher than the number of young people. This may explain why
demographic change now has such a high priority in EU policies.
Nico van Nimwegen, deputy director of the Netherlands
Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute notes that the ageing
problem is the dominant challenge the EU is facing. He sees the
implications of this trend and the need for action and policy
change in various areas. Employment has been recognized as one of
these target areas. The ageing of the population has important
repercussions on the available labor force and thus impacts
economic prospects as a whole. This paper will analyze demographic
changes and

Abstract: Der Preismechanismus ubernimmt die Lenkung der
Wirtschaftsprozesse in Marktwirtschaften." Der Preis hat somit eine
herausragende Bedeutung und bedarf besonderer Aufmerksamkeit. Wie
er sich tatsachlich bildet ist erheblich von der Form des Marktes,
auf dem die Bildung betrachtet wird abhangig. Das Marktergebnis
variiert je nachdem wie viele Anbieter und Nachfrager am
Marktgeschehen teilnehmen, d.h. zum Beispiel, dass sich auf einem
Markt mit nur einem Anbieter ein anderer Preis bildet als auf einem
Markt mit mehreren Anbietern. In der folgenden Arbeit wird dies
dargestellt, indem die beiden Extrempole, welche in der
Volkswirtschaftslehre vorkommen, die Preisbildung bei vollstandiger
Konkurrenz und auf dem Monopolmarkt, aufgezeigt und verglichen
werden. Zunachst erlautere ich den vollkommenen Markt und seine
Kriterien, auf dessen Grundlage die Darstellung erfolgt. Im
Weiteren unterscheide ich die Markte nach der Anzahl ihrer
Teilnehmer auf der Angebots- bzw. auf der Nachfrageseite. Anhand
der dargestellten Kriterien werde ich dann aufzeigen, was die
Marktformen Monopol und vollstandige Konkurrenz definieren. Danach
gehe ich, wie bereits erwahnt, auf die Preisbildung bei
vollstandiger Konkurrenz ein. Hierbei betrachte ich zunachst die
Nachfragekurve und das Angebot. Diese beiden Punkte werden dann
zusammengefuhrt um die Preisbildung zu erlautern. Anschliessend
gehe ich noch auf einige bedeutende Erklarungsansatze fur die
Marktpreisbildung ein um dann die langfristige Entwicklung bei
vollstandiger Konkurrenz darzustellen. Im nachsten Teil der Arbeit
wird die Preisbildung auf einem Markt mit nur einem Anbieter
dargestellt. Hierbei werde ich ebenfalls auf die Nachfrage und das
Angebot eingehen um schliesslich das
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich BWL - Personal und
Organisation, Note: 1,3, Fachhochschule fur Wirtschaft Berlin,
Veranstaltung: Personal und Organisation, 22 Quellen im
Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Kann es sein,
dass in einem Land mit 1,3 Milliarden Einwohner nicht ausreichend
Personal zur Verfugung steht? In vielen der wichtigsten Sektoren
der boomenden Wirtschaft Chinas kann diese Frage vermehrt mit Ja"
beantwortet werden. Obwohl Chinas Arbeitsmarkt ein grosses Angebot
ungelernter Arbeitkrafte bietet beklagen sich Firmen im Suden des
Landes bereits daruber, dass sie nicht genugend billige
Fabrikarbeiter und gewerbliche Arbeitnehmer anwerben konnen.
Qualifizierte Arbeitskrafte zu finden erweist sich als noch
erheblich schwieriger. Aussagen wie die von Anthony Wu,
Fuhrungskraft der Wirtschaftsprufungsgesellschaft Ernst & Young
in Hong Kong und China, dass Auftrage von Grosskunden ausgeschlagen
werden mussen, da nicht genug Personal vorhanden sei, um sie zu
bewaltigen, bestatigen den Mangel an Arbeitskraften. Deshalb stehen
die Erweiterung und der Erhalt des Personalstammes mittlerweile
ganz oben auf der Prioritatenliste von Firmen in China. The biggest
issue is retention of people," erklart Anthony Wu. "Retention is
much cheaper than recruitment." Doch bei einer nationalen
Abwanderungsrate von durchschnittlich 11,3% im Jahr 2004 stellt
sich die Frage, wie man sein Personal motiviert und zufrieden
stellt und dadurch daran hindert dem eigenen Unternehmen den Rucken
zu kehren. Einen erheblichen Beitrag hierzu kann meiner Meinung
nach ein gutes Motivations- und Anreizsystem leisten. Deshalb werde
ich mich in meiner Hausarbeit mit Motivation und Anreizen fur
Arbeitnehmer in China" beschaftigen. Nachdem ich eine kurze
Erklarung zu den wichtigsten Begriffen in diesem Themenfeld gegeben
habe, werde ich mich im zweiten Teil meiner Arbeit mit der
Einordnung der chinesischen Kultur in das Landercluster nach
Hofstede beschaftigen. Da
