The current crises in the financialization of capitalism, and their repercussions on the financial viability of entire countries, severely question the achievements of mainstream economics and its disregard of Keynes's theory of effective demand and finance. In view of this, Peter Flaschel and Sigrid Luchtenberg consider roads to a type of capitalism that could eventually be considered as 'social' in nature. The authors underpin their study with theory, empirical evidence, and policy from a positive as well as a normative perspective. As points of departure for their concept of social capitalism, the theoretical framework provides a synthesis of the work of Marx, Keynes, and Schumpeter on ruthless capitalism, regulated capitalism, and competitive socialism

ABSTRACT: The prophet, whether he was called canonical or non-canonical, namely, one whose writings were or were not included in the Holy Scriptures Canon, is considered to be the man of God, who hears God's voice and conveys His message, playing a very important role, respectively, to communicate to men the will and plans of God. The difference between a canonical and a non-canonical prophet consists only in writing, only in the fact that one wrote a book and the other did not write a certain book, which would have been included in the Canon of the Bible. There are also cases in which some prophets have written, but their books have not become reference books, that would shape some basic rules and in which to be said how the conduct of human life should be. Therefore, the prophets who wrote such books are called canonical prophets, because through their books they created general rules, applicable to all people of all times. Non-canonical prophets, in particular, addresses to specific situations, to some specific moments from the religious, social, or political life of the time. The study presents some examples of non-canonical prophets. KEYWORDS: institutions, prophet, canonical prophet, non-canonical prophet, power pole, royal house, sanctuary
