The Financialisation of Power (eBook, ePUB)

How financiers rule Africa

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The financial crash of 2008 led people all over the world to ask how far financiers are in control of our lives. To what extent does what they do with our money affect our everyday lives? With particular reference to Africa, this book asks whether the crisis, and subsequent use of public subsidies to help the international economy recover, was a unique event, or a symptom of a wider malaise where financiers have effectively usurped the power of governments and are running the political economy themselves.
