Theories of Financial Disturbance examines how the operations of
market-driven finance may initiate and transmit disturbances to the
economy at large, by looking in detail at how various economists
envisaged such disturbances occurring. This book is more than just
a study in the history of economic thought - it illustrates how
economic debate focuses upon financial disturbance at times of
financial instability, and then conveniently discards critical
views when such instability recedes. Jan Toporowski looks at the
development of critical theories from the views of Adam Smith and
Francois Quesnay, and their reflection in recent new Keynesian
ideas of Joseph Stiglitz and Ben Bernanke, through credit cycles in
Alfred Marshall and Ralph Hawtrey, to the financial theories of
Thorstein Veblen and Irving Fisher. Also studied are the theories
of John Kenneth Galbraith, Michal Kalecki, John Maynard Keynes,
Charles Kindleberger, Rosa Luxemburg, Hyman P. Minsky, Robert
Shiller and Josef Steindl. Not least among the original features of
this book are a discussion of Quesnay's attitude towards interest,
and a chapter devoted to the work of the Polish monetary economist
Marek Breit, whose work inspired Kalecki. Jan Toporowski's
fascinating work will find its audience in academics of finance and
financial economics, bankers, financiers and policy makers
concerned with financial stability as well as anyone looking for
arguments on the imperfect functioning of finance.
