BOOK



The recent financial meltdown and the resulting global recession

have rekindled debates regarding the nature of contemporary

capitalism. This book analyses the ongoing financialization of

the economy as a development within capitalism, and explores the

ways in which it has changed the organization of capitalist

power. The authors offer an interpretation of the role of the

financial sphere which displays a striking contrast to the

majority of contemporary heterodox approaches. Their

interpretation stresses the crucial role of financial derivatives

in the contemporary organization of capitalist power relations

arguing that the process of financialization is in fact entirely

unthinkable in the absence of derivatives. The book also uses

Marx's concepts and some of the arguments developed in the

framework of the historic Marxist controversies on economic

crises in order to gain an insight into the modern neoliberal

form of capitalism and the recent financial crisis. Employing a

series of international case studies, this book will be essential

reading for all those with an interest in the financial crisis

and all those seeking to comprehend the workings of capitalism
