This book examines the contemporary production of economic value in
today's financial economies. Much of the regulatory response to the
global financial crisis has been based on the assumption that
curbing the speculative 'excesses' of the financial sphere is a
necessary and sufficient condition for restoring a healthy economic
system, endowed with real values, as distinct from those produced
by financial markets. How, though, can the 'intrinsic' value of
goods and services produced in the sphere of the so-called real
economy be disentangled from the 'artificial' value engineered
within the financial sphere? Examining current projects of
international legal regulation, this book questions the regulation
of the financial sphere insofar as its excesses are juxtaposed to
some notion of economic normality. Given the problem of neatly
distinguishing these domains - and so, more generally, between
economy and society, and production and social reproduction - it
considers the limits of our current conceptualization of value
production and measurement, with specific reference to arrangements
in the areas of finance, trade and labour. Drawing on a range of
innovative work in the social sciences, and attentive to the
spatial and temporal connections that make the global economy, as
well as the racial, gender and class articulations of the social
reproductive field within it, it further asks: what alternative
arrangements might be able to affect, and indeed alter, the
value-making processes that underlie our current international
regulatory framework?
