This stimulating book addresses the relationship between market
authority and political authority - a favourite theme of Susan
Strange to whom the book is dedicated. From a survey of the bias
against capital liberalisation in economic thought to an analysis
of the US role in global monetary affairs, it discusses how and why
free capital flows contribute to the instability of the global
capitalist system. The internationally renowned contributors
analyse the history and theory of international capital flows to
make sense of contemporary global investments and what they mean
for global polity and the economy. They argue over the challenges
of integrating large developing countries into a liberal world
order and the consequences of the multilateral system for the
world's poor. In further discussions they investigate the
sustainability of global capitalism in light of financial crises,
widespread inequality and the uncertain future for traditional
welfare states. They also advance various mechanisms through which
they believe greater stability and equity could be introduced into
the global financial system and the world economy. Implicit in
these arguments is the shared belief that tensions between visions
of a rule-based, liberal world and concepts of a more equitable
distribution of resources drive most of the major conflicts in the
global economy. Investigating the economic, political and social
drawbacks of volatile global finance, and the human choices
required to introduce stability, equity and a sense of purpose to
the world economy, Markets and Authorities will be an invaluable
addition to the fields of economics, political science, political
economy and international business.
