Power outage in Rotterdam

In the second largest city of the Netherlands, Rotterdam, a power outage could have serious implications on its 600 thousand inhabitants. Additionally, a power outage could result in serious economical implications considering the port of Rotterdam is the biggest sea port of Europe. A large scale power outage in San Diego in 2011 was taken as a case study to investigate the possible effects in Rotterdam. The case study showed that the ‘lifelines’ affected the most were transportation and communication. Similarly, a power outage in Rotterdam would likely cause severe traffic jams due to faulty traffic lights and the communication networks would not be able to handle the load which results in inability to reach emergency services. Healthwise, power outages might cause harm in many ways such as wastewater spills and faulty back up generators in hospitals. Proposed solutions include preventing the most likely cause of a power outage in Rotterdam: damage to the power grid and investments into alternative energy sources that are distributed via a different path than the power grid.

Definition & Reality in the General Theory of Political Economy

Keynes's General Theory is generalised even further by including endogenous government in the model, giving a truly general Political Economy. By including stagnation in economic policy making in our analysis, we arrive at a better understanding of the Great Depression and the Great Stagflation. The general theory also explains why it would be advisable for a democratic society to create an Economic Supreme Court as a separate constitutional power, next to the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches. This book primarily gives theory and stylized facts, and it is directed primarily at my fellow economists. The colleagues specifically must get to understand the Definition & Reality methodology before they will appreciate that my analysis is scientifically warranted. Much work remains to be done in practical research. And much work must also be done by the other professions. It may be hoped, none the less, that the parliaments of our democratic nations investigate the issue too, so that there is more hope for improvement in the living conditions of the many victims of the current imbalance of powers. The PDF is online, the printed book comes at a price.
