This second volume on the political and social economy of
financialization in the US focuses on the consequences of the rise
of finance for the American macroeconomy, household inequality, and
the management of nonfinancial business enterprises. A
historical-institutional balance-sheet approach to long-term trends
and recent change in the US reveals a series of anomalies and
provisos for critical, heterodox, and mainstream economic
approaches and provides new perspectives on debates about political
economic change in advanced economies since the 2007-2008 financial
crisis. This book marks a significant contribution to the
literature on financialization and studies in social economics,
household economics, the structure and management of nonfinancial
business enterprises, and American political economy.
Combining balance sheet analysis with historical institutional
analysis, this book traces the evolution of social sector financial
balance sheets in the US from 1960 to 2018. This innovative
historical-institutional approach, ranging from the micro level of
households to the macro level of the federal government, reveals
that the displacement of households by banks has been a long-term
process. This gradual compounding of financialization is at odds
with widely accepted views about financialization, contemporary
banking theory, financial intermediation theory, and post-Keynesian
and endogenous money approaches. The book returns to time-tested
traditional principles of banking and taps unexpected affinities
about market failures in transaction cost economics, financial
intermediation theory, and core ideas in classic modern political
and social economy about economic moralities and social reactions
of self-defense against unfettered markets. This book provides an
alternative explanation for the rise of finance and new ways to
think about averting financialization and its devastating
consequences. This book marks a significant contribution to the
literature on financialization, social economics, banking, and the
American political economy.
Brazil has one of the world's fastest growing economies and a
fascinating history underpinning its evolution. This book presents
an analysis of the state's role in monetary policy, from the latter
days of Portuguese rule, to the present day. Based on a variety of
unknown archival sources, this study offers an alternative
explanation for the rise and fall of Brazilian currencies. Monetary
statecraft is a theory that accounts for the open ended, autonomous
character of politics, the complex, recursive phases of public
policy, and political development in the traditional sense of
social inclusion. Unfortunately, there are few precedents for this
type of analysis. This book fills this gap by tracing how Brazilian
policy makers and observers have sought, experimented with, and
reflected on a variety of forms and solutions for monetary policy
since 1808. This book will be of interest to economists, financial
historians and those interested in the history and economy of
Brazil.
