In der vorliegende Ausgabe der Zeitschrift beginnt die Autorin eine vorerst achtteilige Serie zur "New Economy". In dem einführenden Beitrag geht es darum, die typischen Charakteristika der New Economy herauszuarbeiten und zu zeigen, was nun tatsächlich neu an der New Economy ist. Die Ausführungen zeigen, dass die New Economy nicht als eine getrennte Ökonomie mit eigenen Regeln neben der Old Economy stehend gesehen werden darf. Vielmehr ergänzt sie sie, indem sie eine neue Infrastruktur für Produktion, interne und externe Zusammenarbeit und Vertrieb mit veränderten Regeln zur Verfügung stellt. Unternehmen müssen sich auf diese Entwicklung einstellen und ein eigenes e-business aufbauen. Die "Dematerialisierungen" und Digitalisierungen haben aber insgesamt die Bedeutung der materiellen Produktion und der traditionellen Dienstleistungen nicht obsolet werden lassen. (ICA)

"This paper addresses the potential for conflict between antitrust authorities in the arena of merger control in the new economy. By 'new economy' we mean two related developments. First, the internationalization of the economy, i.e. the ability to sell and produce products world-wide, and secondly, markets with certain characteristics such as network effects and other aspects of natural monopoly. We focus on three types of substantive issues in merger control - market definition, assessment of competitive effects, and the role of remedies. We argue that the scope for conflict varies significantly across these three arenas. In particular, conflict over market definition is less likely. By contrast, the assessment of competitive effects and the role of remedies are areas where conflict between antitrust authorities may be more likely in 'new economy-type' markets."

Die Autorin gibt eine Zusammenfassung der mehrteiligen Artikelserie zum Thema "New Economy", welche sich mit ausgewählten Fragestellungen in den Bereichen Wirtschaft und Märkte, Unternehmen und Arbeit beschäftigte. In ihrer kritischen Betrachtung der einzelnen Beiträge diskutiert sie die Frage, ob die zu beobachtenden Entwicklungen tatsächlich noch relevant und welche zukünftigen Entwicklungen zu erwarten sind. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die "New Economy" auch nach dem Ende des Internet-Booms nicht zugrunde ging und insgesamt keine Rückbesinnung auf die "Old Economy" zu beobachten ist. Im Gegenteil - das Internet als neue technische Infrastruktur, die den Informations- und Kommunikationsfluss beschleunigt und die Zusammenarbeit über große Distanzen erleichtert, setzt sich sowohl im privaten als auch im beruflichen und öffentlichen Bereich zunehmend durch. In der Folge ist mit einer Vielzahl neuer Anwendungen und Innovationen zu rechnen, z.B. zur besseren Beherrschung der mit dem Internet einhergehenden Informations-, Wissens- und Medienüberflutung oder zur Nutzung des Internet als Basis für verbesserte oder neuartige Dienstleistungen in unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Vor dem Hintergrund historischer Erfahrungen und gegenwärtig zu beobachtenden Entwicklungen entsteht somit eine neue Ära der Internet-Wirtschaft, die als "Net Economy" bezeichnet werden kann. (ICI2)

The New Economy has not eliminated the business cycle & the contradictions of capitalism, nor has better information guaranteed that markets can allocate resources more efficiently. The increased job insecurity, the stagnation of real earnings, the loss of health care coverage, & the increased political power of corporate capital are evidence that earlier optimism about greater empowerment through the New Economy is not materializing. While new technologies are changing lifestyles & the production of goods & services, the New Economy is producing enclave, rather than general, prosperity. The number of proletarians is increasing on a global level; the runaway growth of the power of capital is at the transnational level; & cross-border mergers & strategic alliances change the balances of economic & political power.

"Jung, unkonventionell, rund um die Uhr im 'Start-Up' aktiv und gut gelaunt - so sieht das Klischee von den smarten Wissensarbeiterinnen und -arbeitern der New Economy aus. Doch nicht erst seit der Börsenkrise der 'dot.coms' bröckelt das Bild von der schönen neuen Arbeitswelt. Neben dem positiven Leitbild der neuen Arbeitswelt - dem ungebundenen Computerspezialisten, manchmal auch der Computerspezialistin - bringt die neue Ökonomie eine wachsende Zahl von weniger attraktiven Jobs hervor. 'Softwareschmieden' einerseits und 'Call Center' andererseits scheinen die beiden Pole der 'New Economy' idealtypisch abzubilden. In welche Richtung entwickelt sich die Arbeit in der 'Neuen Ökonomie'? Gibt es vor Ort und in den Regionen politische Gestaltungschancen für eine zukunftsorientierte Standort- sowie Branchenentwicklung, die auch Fragen der Qualifizierung, des Gender Mainstreaming, der Qualitätssicherung der Arbeitsplätze und der Tarifpolitik umfasst? Im vorliegenden Sammelband haben wir einige Aufsätze und Vorträge zusammen getragen, die zu diesem Thema im Laufe der letzten Monate im Rahmen der Zusammenarbeit von Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung NRW und Kooperationsstelle Wissenschaft - Arbeitswelt entstanden sind. Sichtbarer Ausdruck dieser Zusammenarbeit war vor allem die zweitägige Tagung 'Arbeiten in der New Economy' im Juni 2001, die neben der Diskussion auch Exkursionen in ein Call Center und eine Softwarefirma umfasste. Von dieser Tagung stammen die meisten der im Folgenden abgedruckten Beiträge." (Textauszug).

The changing proportion of science and education in the works of A. Smith, J. Mill, A. Marshall and P. Samuelson is considered in the article. The accent is also made on the shift of the economists' attention from "the life of things" to the life of people and to the problem of its adequate reflection in the textbooks. The author makes some assumptions on the further evolution of beginner's textbooks on the economic theory.

The economy of ancient Egypt is a difficult area of study due to the lack of preservation of much data (especially quantitative data); it is also a controversial subject on which widely divergent views have been expressed. It is certain, however, that the principal production and revenues of Egyptian society as a whole and of its individual members was agrarian, and as such, dependent on the yearly rising and receding of the Nile. Most agricultural producers were probably self-sufficient tenant farmers who worked the fields owned by wealthy individuals or state and temple estates. In addition to these, there were institutional and corvée workforces, and slaves, but the relative importance of these groups for society as a whole is difficult to assess. According to textual evidence, crafts were in the hands of institutional workforces, but indications also exist of craftsmen working for private contractors. Trade was essentially barter with reference to fixed units of textile, grain, copper, silver, and gold as measures of value. Coins were imported and produced in the Late Period, but a system close to a monetary economy is attested only from the Ptolemaic Period onward. Marketplaces were frequented by private individuals (including women) as well as professional traders, both native and foreign. Imports were secured by conquests and military control in the Levant, from which silver, oil, and wine reached Egypt, and in Nubia, rich in its deposits of gold.
