Capital Claims: Power and Global Finance cuts through the flows of global finance, revealing how financial instruments operate through law, state power, and hierarchy. A return to the best kind of political economy.
Amin Samman, Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy at City, University of London, UK
In this excellent collection, some of the sharpest minds in contemporary political economy help us understand the ways different modes of power saturate contemporary financial capitalism. The light they shine illuminates not just the rules and hierarchies that coordinate that power, but also the processes through which those who enjoy it make, and enforce, claims upon the world that reach far beyond the realm of 'finance.' In a moment in which private finance is hailed as the solution to everything from housing to climate change, this book does crucial work.
Geoff Mann, Professor in the Department of Geography at Simon Fraser University, Canada
Finance capital claims a central role in our political economy. This book unpacks its power/s to do so, through an impressive collection of brilliant contributions.
