FINANCIALIZATION IN CRISIS
Edited by COSTAS LAPAVITSAS
AVAILABLE NOW FROM HAYMARKET
A TITLE IN THE HISTORICAL MATERIALISM BOOK SERIES
———————————–
In this important and timely volume, a number of well-known political economists draw on the insights of Marxist and other heterodox economists to argue that the turmoil of 2007 to 2009 represents a crisis of financialized capitalism that can only be understood through tracing out the structural changes in the modern global economy. Carefully examining domestic and international aspects of the financialization of capitalism over the past thirty years, the contributors persuasively demonstrate that the ongoing economic crisis commenced in the sphere of finance, spread to production, and then became a world recession.
