Since the 1960s, scholars and other commentators have frequently
announced the imminent decline of American financial power:
excessive speculation and debt are believed to have undermined the
long-term basis of a stable U.S.-led financial order. But the
American financial system has repeatedly shown itself to be more
resilient than such assessments suggest. This book argues that
there is considerable coherence to American finance: far from being
a house of cards, it is a proper edifice, built on institutional
foundations with points of both strength and weakness. The book
examines these foundations through a historical account of their
construction: it shows how institutional transformations in the
late nineteenth century created a distinctive infrastructure of
financial relations and proceeds to trace the contradiction-ridden
expansion of this system during the twentieth century as well as
its institutional consolidation during the neoliberal era. It
concludes with a discussion of the forces of instability that hit
at the start of the twenty-first century.
