During the recent financial crisis, the conflict between sovereign
states and banks over who controls the creation of money was thrown
into sharp relief. This collection investigates the relationship
between states and banks, arguing that conflicts between the two
over control of money produces critical junctures. Drawing on Max
Weber's concept of 'mobile capital', the book examines the mobility
of capital networks in contexts of funding warfare, global bubbles
and dangerous instability disengaged from social-economic activity.
It proposes that mobile capital is a primary feature of capitalism
and nation states, and furthermore, argues that the perennial,
hierarchical struggles between states and global banks is intrinsic
to capitalism. Featuring authors writing from an impressively
diverse range of academic backgrounds (including sociology,
geography, economics and politics), Critical Junctures in Mobile
Capital presents a variety of analyses using current or past
examples from different countries, federations, and of differing
forms of mobile capital.
