商品簡介
The 2007-9 global financial crisis poses different problems for different schools of economics, with mainstream economists largely having failed to anticipate the systemic danger posed by the securitization of mortgages and the housing bubble; post-Kenyesians, particularly those influenced by Minsky, more aware of the systemic risk, but failing to propose anything more than "business as usual" responses; and Marxist economists failing to account for the overwhelming financial nature of the crisis while attempting to tie it to a crisis of overproduction. This collection, edited by Lapavitsas (economics, School of Oriental and African Studies, U. of London, UK), brings together Marxist and other heterodox political economists to consider the central role of financialization in the crisis and address these lacunae.
