Financialization - the increasing importance of financial markets,
institutions and motives in the world economy - is described and
analyzed in this rigorously researched volume. The contributors,
top scholars in their fields, explore the quantitative and
qualitative dimensions of financialization and tally its costs and
benefits for society as a whole. They explore the puzzling
promotion of financial liberalization by governments despite its
enormous costs, and describe what can be done to alter the
destructive path toward excessive financialization that most
countries are taking. The book begins by presenting basic data on
the distributional implications of financialization. Part two
focuses on financialization in the context of the US economy, with
discussion of the relationship between financialization and
non-financial corporations, the stock market bubble, and the
evolution of derivatives markets. The international dimensions of
financialization are explored in part three, with particular
attention paid to the evolution of the international monetary
system. Part four presents five case studies of financialization
and financial crises in emerging markets in the 1980s and 1990s:
Mexico, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, and South Korea. The final
section offers ideas for policy responses, including capital
controls and securities transaction taxes. Researchers and students
of international economics and finance will find this provocative
volume an important part of the debate surrounding this
multi-faceted phenomenon.
