11. "The Case for a Job Guarantee" - by Pavlina Tcherneva
<p>A universal job guarantee, provided by the state. Funded by monetary financing, as described by Modern Monetary Theory. To be spent on guaranteeing employment for those that the private sector is not willing or able to employ, regardless of job experience, race, age, or gender. Jobs created in carework and the transition to a sustainable, green economy. The job guarantee scheme would be part of a Green New Deal, and could be alternative to or an extension of the Universal Basic Income. Also a great way to transition to an human-to-human economy after job losses due to automatisation. </p>

10. "Less is more" - by Jason Hickel
<p><strong>Less is More: How Degrowth will Save the World</strong> by Jason Hickel</p> <p>(William Heinemann Publishing, 2020)</p> <p>How we shall not reduce CO2 emissions without degrowth of our economic. How material use, emissions, and other forms of environmental detruction have not been decoupled from growth. Growth is the centrepiece of capitalism. Without growth, capitalism cannot exist. It has historically relied on "fixes" such as enclosures, colonialisation, the destruction of nature, neoliberalism and the exploitation of the global South. Developed Northern economies have a historical debt to Southern ones.</p> <p>Degrowth will not make our living standards worse. Actually, it will make it better. By forcing us to refocus from growth to distribution, we will realise that it has not been growth that has given us higher living standards. In fact it has been capitalism that has created artificial shortages, to force us to partake. Degrowth will free us make the lives of the many better. </p>

9. "Great Transformations" - by Mark Blyth
<p><strong>Great Transformations: Economic Ideas and Institutional Change in the Twentieth Century </strong>by Mark Blyth </p> <p>(Cambridge University Press, 2002)</p> <p>How economic ideas were used to restrict markets in the first half of the 20th century, in order to embed them in social institutions and state structures. The New Deal era in the USA, and the construction of the Social Democratic welfare states in Sweden and elsewhere in Europe. How markets were then in turn disembedded from social and state constraints in both places, based on economic ideas, as well as generous financing for pro market economists, think tanks and media. </p>
