Overview: Here is the first comprehensive exposition of the theory of state capitalism. Using a Marxist theoretical approach, Buick and Crump show that private capitalism and state capitalism are equally suitable institutional arrangements for allowing capital to exploit wage-workers. State capitalism is examined in its Western form of selective nationalisation and in its full-scale form, as found in Russia or China. The origins of Russian state capitalism are traced back to the 1917 revolution and Lenin‘s ideology. Finally, Buick and Crump suggest the kind of changed social relationships whic

Overview: In diesem Buch wird es erstmalig unternommen, die Mechanismen der Informationsverarbeitung auf Börsenmärkten mit einer Computersimulation zu untersuchen. Die Simulation des Handels fiktiver Investoren mit unterschiedlichen Informationsständen geht dabei u.a. den Fragen nach: Welche Strategien stehen "schlecht" informierten Investoren offen? Wie wirken diese Strategien im Marktzusammenhang? Welche Auswirkungen informationsineffizienter Märkte ergeben sich für die im Markt gehandelten Unternehmen? Welche Wirkungen gehen von einer Marktzersplitterung (wie in Deutschland) aus? Lohnt sich
