Recent market turmoil, bank runs, global equities sell-off, and the 'credit crunch' have demonstrated the sophisticated and interconnected nature of financial markets today - seemingly localized problems have quickly spread, putting at risk the solvency of both local and global financial institutions. As these markets are increasingly complex, interconnected, and embedded in the daily lives of individuals, there is a pressing need to unravel and understand the complexities and prospects of this new and transformative social, political, and geographical paradigm. This book brings together a group of leading scholars from a range of disciplines to formulate a more holistic understanding of financial risk by rooting it in different environments, spatial scales, and disciplines. The result is an all-encompassing exposition of current and future financial risk management practices, possibilities, and problems.
Indispensable guide to forms of US neo-liberalism.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an indispensable buide of forms of US neo-liberalism and professional compromise, holding out for the power of critigue and conscience to intervene in domains in and beyond academia. A superb study by a first-rate critical intelligence; the critique of American Studies per se is worth the price of admission. Touche, the star puppets fall into the trash heap of history.
