This book explains why inflation remains subdued after recessions, based on three revolutionary concepts: defensive expectations, compensatory savings, and cumulative wage gap. When income falls, consumption falls, and savings rise, as people rebuild their past wealth. Households will not spend more until they fully recover what they lost. The revised Phillips Curve explains that current inflation depends on the cumulative difference between current income and past income. This new theory is tested and validated by data for US since 1960 to date and for 35 OECD countries from 1990 to date. A number of policy implications are derived from these results. The book calls for an optimal policy mix between monetary policy and fiscal policy; it also discusses the coronavirus crisis as an extreme case of defensive expectations.

Die zunehmende klinische Bedeutung der essentiellen Spurenelemente und Mineralstoffe war Gegenstand der 23. Tagung der Gesellschaft für Mineralstoffe und Spurenelemente e.V. in Stuttgart. Neben den Spurenelementen Antimon, Jod und Cadmium lag der Schwerpunkt auf Selen. Die Ergebnisse klinischer Studien zeigen die Anwendbarkeit zur Mortalitätsreduktion bei Sepsis, zur Reduktion von Nebenwirkungen der Strahlentherapie von Patienten mit Cervix- oder Corpus uteri-Karzinomen, zur Abnahme von Autoimmunantikörpern und Verbesserung klinischer Beschwerden bei entzündlichen Autoimmunkrankheiten der Schilddrüse wie Hashimoto- Thyreoiditis, zum Rückgang des Weichteilödems bei Patienten mit postradiogenen oder postoperativen Ödemen im Bereich der Mundhöhle. Ein lesenswertes wissenschaftliches update der Mineralstoffe und Spurenelemente, das sich durch die große Zahl der Beiträge unterschiedlicher Autoren durch Lebendigkeit und Vielfalt auszeichnet.
