World Financial Orders challenges the predominance of neo-liberalism as a mode of knowledge about contemporary world finance, and claims that it neglects the social and political bases as well as the malign consequences of change. He looks to the field of International Political Economy (IPE) to construct an alternative mode, one that critically restores society and politics. An 'historical' approach to IPE is advanced that accounts for modern world finance since the seventeenth century as a succession of structurally distinct hierarchical social orders. This book will be of interest to those working in the field of IPE and to those scholars, researchers and students from across the social sciences who seek to challenge the common-sense, neo-liberal explanation of contemporary world finance.
In the US and UK, saving and borrowing routines have changed
radically and become closely bound-up with the capital markets of
global finance. As mutual funds have increased in popularity and
pension provision has been transformed, many more individuals and
households have come to invest in stocks and shares. As consumer
borrowing has risen dramatically and mortgage finance has been
extended to those deemed sub-prime, so the repayments of credit
card holders and mortgagors have provided the basis for the issue
and trading of bonds and other market instruments.
Grounded in literature from the sociology of finance and
international political economy, and informed by extensive
empirical research, The Everyday Life of Global Finance explores
the unprecedented relationships that now bind Anglo-American
society with the financial markets. As mutual funds have increased
in popularity and pension provision has been transformed, many more
individuals and households have come to invest in stocks and
shares. As consumer borrowing has risen dramatically and mortgage
finance has embraced those deemed sub-prime, so the repayments of
credit card holders and mortgagors have provided the basis for the
issue and trading of bonds and other market instruments.
