Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency: War Communism in the Twenty-First Century
by Andreas MalmWhat does the COVID 19 tell us about the climate breakdown, and what should we do about it?The economic and social impact of the coronavirus pandemic has been unprecedented. Governments have spoken of being at war and find themselves forced to seek new powers in order to maintain social order and prevent the spread of the virus. This is often exercised with the notion that we will return to normal as soon as we can. What if that is not possible? Secondly, if the state can mobilize itself in the face of an invisible foe like this pandemic, it should also be able to confront visible dangers such as climate destruction with equal force. In Corona, Climate, Chronic Emergency, leading environmental thinker, Andreas Malm demands that this war-footing state should be applied on a permanent basis to the ongoing climate front line. He offers proposals on how the climate movement should use this present emergency to make that case. There can be no excuse for inaction any longer.
The Corona Crash: How the Pandemic Will Change Capitalism (CORONAVIRUS PAMPHLETS)
by Grace BlakeleyFree market, competitive capitalism is dead. The separation between politics and economics can no longer be sustained.In The Corona Crash, leading economics commentator Grace Blakeley theorises about the epoch-making changes that the coronavirus brings in its wake. We are living through a unique moment in history. The pandemic has caused the deepest global recession since the Second World War. Meanwhile the human cost is reflected in a still-rising death toll, as many states find themselves unable—and some unwilling—to grapple with the effects of the virus. Whatever happens, we can never go back to business as usual. This crisis will tip us into a new era of monopoly capitalism, argues Blakeley, as the corporate economy collapses into the arms of the state, and the tech giants grow to unprecedented proportions. We need a radical response. The recovery could see the transformation of our political, economic, and social systems based on the principles of the Green New Deal. If not, the alternatives, as Blakeley warns, may be even worse than we feared.
Corona verändert ein Land: Neue Wege für Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft
by Horst-Udo Niedenhoff Peter OrthDieses Buch ist eine Chronik und Bestandsaufnahme der Corona-Pandemie in Deutschland von ihren Anfängen bis heute (April 2023).Die durch das Virus verursachte Krise offenbart schlaglichtartig die strukturellen Schwächen unseres Landes: Ein verordnungsorientierter Staatsapparat, ein antiquiertes Bildungssystems und ein eher träges Wirtschaftssystem behindern angemessene Reaktionen, weitere Entwicklung und höhere Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Eine Bildungs- und Weiterbildungsoffensive und eine Digitalisierungsoffensive sind die wichtigsten Konsequenzen, die nun gezogen werden müssen.Das Buch bietet dazu Analysen und Gewichtungen positiver und negativer Entwicklungen auch anhand tabellarischer Darstellungen und formuliert schließlich Handlungshinweise für verschiedene Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsbereiche. Es richtet sich an Führungskräfte der Wirtschaft, deren Mitarbeiter und Begleiter in den Aufsichts- und Mitbestimmungsorganen, an die Gestalter von Bildung und Weiterbildung sowie an das politische Personal unseres Landes. Für die 2. Auflage wurde ein ausführliches Kapitel über die Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf den Kulturbetrieb ergänzt.
Corona-Weltrezession: Epidemiedruck und globale Erneuerungs-Perspektiven
by Paul J.J. WelfensDieses Buch bietet eine umfassende Analyse der Corona-Weltrezession und zeigt erstmals auf, wie stark verändert die Weltwirtschaft durch die Corona-Schocks sein wird. Die Europäische Union muss – wie die USA und China – mit dem Corona-Schock mehrere Stress-Tests bestehen: medizinisch, ökonomisch, wirtschaftspolitisch. Gründe für die Sterbequoten werden identifiziert. Die Corona-Schocks bringen politische Enttäuschung über die Seuchenpolitik, z.T. eine Abkehr von der Demokratie. Dabei gibt es in der EU noch das Risiko #Eurokrise2 und Druck zu digitalem Strukturwandel sowie verstärkter Klimapolitik: mit mehr Einkommensungleichheit. Corona-Probleme in den USA sollten zu Gesundheitssystem-Reformen führen, während Deutschland und Österreich fürs Erste die Herausforderung gemeistert haben. Die Corona-Epidemie wird politische Narben hinterlassen. Der EU-Gipfel im Juli 2020 steht für widersprüchliche Politik. Der Westen fällt gegenüber Asien zurück.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic and the Global Economy (A)
by Alberto F. Cavallo Christian GodwinIn early 2020, a coronavirus pandemic swept the globe, ushering in unprecedented disruptions to the global economy. Both supply and demand were decimated by lockdowns and border closings, as well as reduced spending by fearful consumers. In response, governments around the world made equally unprecedented policy moves, spending trillions of dollars on fiscal stimulus measures to bridge the gap during the self-imposed shutdown. As the pandemic progressed, governments had to weigh the costs between loss of life due to opening up their economies and the economic devastation caused by delaying a reopening.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic and the Global Economy (B)
by Alberto F. Cavallo Christian GodwinBy December 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had swept across the globe, creating widespread disruption in all aspects of everyday life. Almost 90 million people had been infected and nearly two million had died from the disease. By this point in the pandemic-a year since the first rumors about the novel virus began, mask-wearing and social-distancing had become routine, and millions of people were working or studying from home. Grief and anxiety were widespread due to the loss of loved ones, financial hardships, and uncertainty about when the pandemic would recede. Meanwhile, the global economy was experiencing the worst crisis in decades, with a recovery that was slow, uncertain, and uneven. By the end of the year, it was clear that the economic crisis would not end until the virus was under control. To accomplish this, governments worldwide were relying on private companies to fast-track the development and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, hoping for a return to normalcy in 2021.

The Coronavirus Pandemic and Inequality: A Global Perspective (Global Perspectives on Wealth and Distribution)
by Shirley Johnson-LansThis book examines the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the degree of inequality in wellbeing (income and wealth, health, access to health care, employment, and education) in a number of different countries around the globe. The effect of socioeconomic inequality within a country on the outcome of the pandemic is also considered. This book studies the differential effects of Covid based on location, age, income, education, gender, race/ethnicity, and immigrant status. Special attention is devoted to indigenous populations and those who are institutionalized. The short- and long-term effects of public policy developed to deal with the pandemic’s fallout are studied, as are the effects of the pandemic on innovations in health care systems and likely extensions of public policy instituted during the pandemic to alleviate unemployment, poverty, and income inequality.
Corporate Accountability in the Context of Transitional Justice
by Sabine MichalowskiCorporate Accountability in the Context of Transitional Justice explores how corporations can be held accountable for their role in past human rights violations when a country is making a transition from conflict or repression to peace and democracy. It breaks new ground in theorizing the linkages between the areas of transitional justice and corporate accountability and analyzing problems frequently arising where the two fields meet in practice, for example where the role of corporations in past human rights violations is examined by truth and reconciliation commissions or in the course of litigation. The book provides an overview of the current trends in law and in legal and political discussion relating to both areas, as well as in-depth analysis of how tools of corporate accountability and transitional justice can complement each other in order to achieve the best outcomes for bringing justice to victims and lasting peace to societies. The authors bring extensive experience from diverse professional backgrounds and jurisdictions to provide the first sustained attempt to address this link. The book will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, policymakers and activists working in the areas of transitional justice; corporate accountability; and business and human rights.
Corporate Accountability under Socio-Economic Rights (Transnational Law and Governance)
by Jernej Letnar ČerničIn recent decades, corporations have increasingly accepted that they have obligations to respect the socio-economic rights of individuals whose rights to livelihoods, education, food, health, housing and water are affected by the actions of corporations on a daily basis. Despite this, it is often difficult for victims to bring corporations to court for violations of their socio-economic rights. Domestic constitutional systems provide, at best, fragile and limited protections against adverse corporate activities, while international responses have been lacking in creating obligations and accountability for corporations under socio-economic rights. The urgency of bolstering corporate accountability for socio-economic rights is therefore apparent. In light of this, this book asks whether corporations are required to observe socio-economic rights and if they are accountable for any violations. In doing so, it identifies and analyzes the theoretical foundations and the existing scope of corporate accountability arising from socio-economic rights at both national and international levels. Through careful analysis, Jernej Letnar Černič exposes the stark need for greater clarity in the obligations and accountability of corporations, advocating a normative framework for corporate accountability for socio-economic rights in national legal orders which builds on existing mechanisms.

Corporate Behavior and Sustainability: Doing Well by Being Good (Finance, Governance and Sustainability)
by Güler Aras Coral IngleyCompanies can no longer expect to engage in dubious or unethical corporate behaviour without risking their reputation and damaging, perhaps irrevocably, their market position. Irresponsible corporate behavior not only deprives shareholders of long-term returns but also ultimately imposes a cost on society as a whole. Sustainable business is about ensuring that entities contribute toward positive social, environmental, and economic outcomes. Bad business behaviour is costly for stakeholders, for markets, for society, and the economy alike. To ensure that a company behaves well, the buy-in of the leadership team is crucial. The full commitment of the board of directors, in conjunction with the senior managers of the organization, is required if an organization is to be socially responsible. In this sense, leadership does not reside with an individual (the CEO) within the organization but with all of those at the apex of corporate power and control. Effective change management requires enlightened and capable leadership to instigate and drive the process of embedding a sustainable and socially responsible corporate philosophy and culture that supports good business decision-making. A profound understanding of the requirements of such a leadership process will help corporate managers become highly effective change agents. Governance will be the main driver of this change. For the economy and financial markets to become sustainable and resilient, radical changes in corporate leadership need to take place. Integrated reporting, government regulation, and international standards will all be important factors in bringing about this change. As well as understanding the effects of corporate behavior on financial markets, such an understanding is also now imperative in relation to the social and environmental contexts.
