Financial economy : evolutions at the edge of crises

By: Trivedi, Smita Roy | Battacharya, Sutanu.
Publisher: London Routledge 2018Description: xiii, 218p.ISBN: 9781138323452.Subject(s): Economics -- Macroeconomics -- Capital Money -- FinanceDDC classification: 330 Summary: This book examines how contemporary financial economy evolved as the predominant economic system, and why unabated accumulation of financial capital takes place in such systems. It reviews the mechanics of accumulation of wealth by tracing the historical roots of financial capital. It provides an alternative framework for studying economic systems design, keeping aside the orthodox neoclassical analysis of equilibrium market exchange. Further, it highlights the global financial circuit, the state of the current digitalised economy with electronic money transfers, consumer’s decision-making and expected future earnings, and questions the relevance of some fundamental concepts of economics as well as economic policies. Using a notion of sequential economy, it also shows how present economic activities are treading upon the future.
