This new book by two leading economists is a far-reaching analysis
of the role and organization of the financial system in the
aftermath of the economic crisis. The authors argue that the
financial markets, as currently organized, hinder genuine market
transactions and therefore harm the economy, along with any chance
of sustained recovery. Despite the crisis, the power of the
financial markets has continued to grow. Far from being subjected
to major restructuring or regulation, they continue to rule largely
unchecked - laying down economic policies, deposing governments,
disrupting social contracts and reshaping international alliances.
The time has come to think through more radical proposals for
reform - to save other markets from the overwhelming power of the
one market that has come to dominate them all, the financial
market. Through a detailed examination of specific measures - from
policies aimed at reigning in financial markets to the idea of
local currencies that could be used to foster economic development
within localities and regions - the authors develop a set of
proposals that would help to revitalize markets, free them from the
domineering power of finance and re-establish the relationship
between creditor and debtor that was severed by the rise of the
modern financial system. Building on their very successful work The
End of Finance , this new and timely book will appeal to students
of economics, politics and sociology as well as to general readers
interested in one of the key issues of our time.
