Marxist Monetary Theory ─ Collected Papers

Money and finance are prominent, even dominant, features of contemporary capitalism. Lapavitsas was one of the first political economists to notice and devote his research to their ascendancy. He offers a resolutely Marxist perspective on contemporary capitalism while remaining conversant with the history of political economy, sensitive to mainstream economic theory, and fully aware of the empirical reality of financialisation.

Costas Lapavitsasis is Professor of Economics at SOAS. He has published widely on money and finance, the Japanese economy, and the Eurozone. He writes often for the international press and his most recent books are Profiting Without Producing (Verso, 2013) and Against the Troika (Verso, 2015, with H. Flassbeck).
