Global Finance at Risk: On Real Stagnation and Instability
This volume articulates a state of shock and concern with the unbridled pace of speculative finance in the global economy. Challenging the conventional wisdom of market efficiency in the context of today’s ‘high finance’, the volume points at its limits in terms of generating real growth and development. Removed from the real sphere of production and employment, the high-risk high return portfolios of the financiers fail to achieve even the short-term target of an effective buffer against uncertainty.
