Acknowledgement of the ethical dimension of global finance is
commonplace in the wake of financial crises. The sub-prime crisis
and ensuing credit crunch are only the latest in a long run of
global financial crises that wreak social havoc and force us to
consider alternative possibilities for global finance. By defining
cosmopolitanism and analysing how cosmopolitan ideas can
increasingly provide an account of the governance of global
finance, Brassett examines whether global finance can be regulated
so as to provide cosmopolitan values like social security, equality
and democratic accountability. It suggests that such an exercise is
not adequately resourced by existing theoretical approaches to
critical IPE and instead develops a new pragmatic approach based on
the thought of Richard Rorty. Combining ethical theory with
empirical analysis, it focuses on the Tobin Tax - (a proposal to
place a small levy on foreign currency transactions to dampen
speculation and raise vast revenues) - and explores whether it
could underpin more cosmopolitan forms of global financial
governance. This book situates cosmopolitan ideas in the extant
dilemmas and indeterminacies of global ethics, suggesting
alternatives where possible. It will be of interest to students and
scholars of international ethics, global governance, global civil,
international relations, international political economy, global
finance, public policy, critical theory, political theory and
philosophy.
