Surplus is a German-language economics magazine, edited by Adam Tooze, Isabella Weber and Maurice Höfgen, that focuses on the interests of the broad majority rather than the wealthy. Its recent issues cover public research funding, a open letter against a planned ban on socialisation (Vergesellschaftung) and an interview with legal scholar Katharina Pistor on capitalism as a legal system.
