Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book will spark a debate concerning the need for democracy and accountability in the governance of trillions of dollars of plan members' pension plan assets and the legitimacy of the present, mostly unaccountable, corporate governance decisions made by these plans. The author analyzes the reasons for this passivity, pointing to conflicts of interest with respect to corporate governance activity in pension plans and also to limitations in corporate, securities, and pension law. He argues that plan members should be given a voice in pension plan governance and the plans made accountable, and he outlines the legal reforms necessary. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
We live on the ground and with the ground. It feeds us and it cools the earth's atmosphere. We need it for housing, we use it for leisure and for work: without free access to land our economic model would not work. But this has changed significantly since the global financial market crisis. Since conservative investments lost their economical appeal, our land has become an international asset in high demand. Rising rents are one of the main symptoms. But essentially, this affects far more: Our social market economy, our community, and a successful approach to climate change are at stake. The main part of the book is a manual covering 36 different aspects of the land issue, featuring clear graphics and categorized into the three sub-areas of climate, economy, and the common good. Five essays and one interview by well-known authors provide references and possible solutions for one of the most pressing questions of our time. |
Wir leben auf und mit dem Boden. Er ernährt uns und kühlt die Atmosphäre. Wir brauchen ihn zum Wohnen, nutzen ihn in der Freizeit und für die Arbeit - ohne freien Zugang zum Boden ist unser Wirtschaftsmodell nicht denkbar. Seit der Weltfinanzmarktkrise ändert sich dies. Da sich konservative Geldanlagen nicht mehr rentieren, haben sich unsere Böden zu begehrten, international nachgefragten Anlageobjekten entwickelt. Steigende Mieten sind ein Symptom dafür. Im Kern geht es aber um weit mehr: In Frage stehen die soziale Marktwirtschaft und der Erfolg im Umgang mit dem Klimawandel. Den Hauptteil des Buches bildet ein Manual, in dem mit anschaulichen Grafiken 36 Aspekte der Bodenfrage in den Teilbereichen Klima, Ökonomie und Gemeinwohl beleuchtet werden. In fünf Essays und einem Interview stellen namhafte Autor*innen Querbezüge her und zeigen Lösungsansätze für eine der dringlichsten Fragen unserer Gegenwart auf. |
