Financial Cultures and Crisis Dynamics (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

This volume argues that financial affairs cannot be adequately interpreted and explained without regard to themes, methods, and substantive claims posed in recent decades by cultural political economy. The editors and the international cast of contributors have crafted a volume which represents a hugely significant contribution to the field of cultural political economy and the social study of finance.
