The Financialisation of Power

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the impact of the 2008 financial crash, this book delves into the control financiers have over global economies and daily life, particularly in Africa. It questions whether the crisis and the use of public subsidies for recovery are isolated incidents or indicative of a broader trend where financiers have supplanted governmental authority, effectively managing political economies. Through this lens, the book examines the intricate relationship between finance and politics, revealing underlying systemic issues.
