Complexity economicsComplexity economics is the application of complexity science to the problems of economics. It relaxes several common assumptions in economics, including general equilibrium theory. While it does not reject the existence of an equilibrium, it sees such equilibria as "a special case of nonequilibrium", and as an emergent property resulting from complex interactions between economic agents. The complexity science approach has also been applied to computational economics.
Anarchist economicsAnarchist economics is the set of theories and practices of economic activity within the political philosophy of anarchism. Many anarchists are anti-authoritarian anti-capitalists, with anarchism usually referred to as a form of libertarian socialism, i.e. a stateless system of socialism. Anarchists support personal property (defined in terms of possession and use, i.e. mutualist usufruct) and oppose capital concentration, interest, monopoly, private ownership of productive property such as the means of production (capital, land and the means of labor), profit, rent, usury and wage slavery which are viewed as inherent to capitalism.
StockPour une entreprise, les stocks représentent les biens achetés, transformés ou à vendre à un moment donné. Le stock représente de manière habituelle, l'ensemble des biens qui interviennent dans le cycle d'exploitation de l'entreprise ou qui peuvent être vendus « en l'état ». Une entreprise peut détenir plusieurs types de stocks tels que : Matière première, Produit en cours de fabrication sous forme de sous-ensemble ou d’élément complet, Produit manufacturé prêt à être vendu, ou à être utilisé dans la chaine de fabrication, Produits "défectueux" ou obsolète devant être "mis à jour" ou réparé.
UnderconsumptionUnderconsumption is a theory in economics that recessions and stagnation arise from an inadequate consumer demand, relative to the amount produced. In other words, there is a problem of overproduction and overinvestment during a demand crisis. The theory formed the basis for the development of Keynesian economics and the theory of aggregate demand after the 1930s. Underconsumption theory narrowly refers to heterodox economists in Britain in the 19th century, particularly from 1815 onwards, who advanced the theory of underconsumption and rejected classical economics in the form of Ricardian economics.
Pluralism in economicsThe pluralism in economics movement is a campaign to change the teaching and research in economics towards more openness in its approaches, topics and standpoints it considers. The goal of the movement is to "reinvigorate the discipline ... [and bring] economics back into the service of society". Some have argued that economics had greater scientific pluralism in the past compared to the monist approach that is prevalent today.
Institutionalist political economyInstitutionalist political economy, also known as institutional political economy or IPE, refers to a body of political economy, thought to stem from the works of institutionalists such as Thorstein Veblen, John Commons, Wesley Mitchell and John Dewey. It emphasizes the impact of historical and socio-political factors on the evolution of economic practices, often opposing more rational approaches. In the political sense, this implies the influences actors like the state have on socio-economic practices and the shaping of institutions via political decision-making.
Sociologie économiqueLa sociologie économique est un domaine de la sociologie qui cherche à comprendre et expliquer (par les outils de la sociologie) les diverses formes d'économie, et qui cherche à coupler les intérêts économiques avec les relations sociales. Il s'agit pour Neil J. Smelser et Richard Swedberg, de "L'application des cadres de référence, variables et modèles explicatifs de la sociologie à des activités ayant pour but la production, la distribution, l'échange et la consommation de biens et services rares." .
