The first part of this book builds a framework of analyzing the
material consequences of global finance. Chapters are devoted to
unravelling the byzantine relationship between deregulated and
liberalized international finance and the effect on national
economies. This relationship rests on the nature of new financial
instruments, how optimal decisions are made about them and the
legal and political regulatory regime that has ensued. The second
part relates how the complexity of the new financial regime
affects, shapes and interacts with communities, lifestyles,
architecture and the development and form of urban economies. The
book offers an authoritative account of the momentous changes in
the organization of finance capital that occurred in the 1980s. But
it never contents itself with a mere record of events. The changes
in finance are related to changes in urban forms, notably
metropolitan lifestyles and aesthetics. This book should be of
interest to students of sociology, economics, and urban studies.
