Description

Digitalisierung, Elektromobilität, Gentechnologie, Industrie 4.0 und andere technische Revolutionen werden sich in allen Bereichen der Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft vollziehen und stellen uns vor gewaltige Herausforderungen. Am stärksten wird die menschliche Arbeit davon betroffen sein, die nicht mehr so sein wird wie zuvor. Mit der heute vorherrschenden neoliberalen Ausrichtung der Wirtschaft und der Finanzwelt wird diese Entwicklung nicht zu bewältigen sein. Wenn keine grundlegenden Änderungen eintreten, werden breite Teile der Gesellschaft verarmen, die Spaltung der Gesellschaft in arm und reich wird weiter zunehmen. Damit verbunden droht die Zunahme von nationalistischen, politisch-xenophoben Bewegungen in Deutschland und in Europa, die unser politisches System der Demokratie in Frage stellen. Mit einer Ökonomie der Antifragilität können diese drohenden Konsequenzen gemildert werden. Sie sieht den Menschen als Kern des Wirtschaftsgeschehens und nicht das Kapital.

About the author

More about Michael Ghanem

Born in 1949, he grew up in France and graduated from an elite French university for industrial engineers. After moving to Germany, he studied economics, sociology, political science, philosophy and ethics. In the field of philosophy, he was strongly influenced by the philosophy and teachings of Zarathustra, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Rabelais, Michel de Montaigne, Baruch Spinoza, Thomas Aquinas, Ibn Khaldun, Niccolo Machiavelli, René Descartes, Blaise Pascal, Voltaire, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Gottfried W. Leibniz, Auguste Comte, Arthur Schopenhauer, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Karl Marx, Henri Bergson, Karl Popper, Karl Jaspers, and Erich Fromm. In the field of economics, he was strongly influenced by post-Keynesians and behavioural economists. He is highly critical of the teachings of Milton Friedman, the Chicago Boys, the Frederick School and Friedrich A. Hayek. His professional career first took him to an international organisation, where he worked for five years as a project controller for major water projects, mainly in Africa, and thanks to this, he was able to get to know a large number of countries and their leaders. He then worked for many years for a European organisation and several international consulting firms. He considers himself a critic of current globalisation and has been strongly committed to water management and economics issues since 1974. These experiences have given him a deep understanding of geopolitical issues and enabled him to assess current political developments, particularly in the context of economic interdependencies. Since his retirement, he has been living a secluded life in Bonn and working as a writer. In his publications, he focuses primarily on the pressing social, economic and political issues of our time, as well as water management. To date, he has published numerous works on politics and geopolitics, society and economics. Other key topics include health, identity, racism, the environment, migration, water management, Africa, demographic development and alternative economic systems such as anti-fragility economics. He has also published several short stories and fairy tales.
