Marktwirtschaft reparieren: Entwurf einer freiheitlichen, gerechten und nachhaltigen Utopie
Marktwirtschaft beinhaltet eine attraktive soziale Utopie: eine gerechte Wirtschaftsordnung, in der Kooperation ohne zentrale Steuerung möglich ist. In der Realität des Kapitalismus wird die Leistungsgerechtigkeit jedoch zugunsten weniger Privilegierter verzerrt, und der Wachstumszwang ist ökologisch verheerend.
Wer sein Einkommen Bodenspekulation oder Rohstoffverbrauch verdankt, bezieht leistungslose Einkommensanteile, und wer so mächtig ist, dass er die Politik zu seinen Gunsten beeinflussen kann, entzieht sich den regulierenden Kräften des Marktes. Das Buch benennt diese und andere Schwächen des Kapitalismus und entwickelt daraus politische Lösungen für eine gerechte und nachhaltige Marktwirtschaft.

I love this book because it analyses deeply why our economic does and why it does not work, as well as making constructive suggestions on what to improve.
The principal idea of economic justice by eliminating free (effortless) income but encouraging enterprise is one I can get behind.

Read in custody, good way to kill time.
The first ~110 pages are a boring repetition of high-school economics. The rest is about fixing issues with the current market systems, basically repeating the phrase "we need to internalize externalities" over the course of a few dozen pages without ever explicitly characterizing it.
The approach is somewhat interesting and unique: A universally acknowledged injustice is income without labour, the authors say, and from merely the goal of eliminating income without labour we can derive some intermediately radical reforms.
One new idea that I got from the book: Investments in land usually derive their returns from public investments (think a new metro station); therefore they should be heavily taxed.
The intended audience is degrowth people etc without prior economic knowledge.
