Monetary Economies of Production

Banking and Financial Circuits and the Role of the State

9781781003947 Edward Elgar Publishing
Edited by Louis-Philippe Rochon, Full Professor, Laurentian University, Canada, Editor-in-Chief, Review of Political Economy and Founding Editor Emeritus, Review of Keynesian Economics and Mario Seccareccia, Professor Emeritus, University of Ottawa, Canada and Editor, International Journal of Political Economy
Publication Date: November 2013 ISBN: 978 1 78100 394 7 Extent: 304 pp
The central focus of this book is the relationship between money, the sphere of production, and the State.

It explores how best to adapt the fundamental ideas of the circulationist perspective to achieve a better understanding of the financialisation of the production processes within contemporary capitalist economies. Importantly, the expert contributors illustrate that the true challenge ahead is to address how these new emerging forms can be eventually tamed, a challenge that the recent financial crisis has forcefully proven essential.

The central focus of this book is the relationship between money, the sphere of production, and the State.

It explores how best to adapt the fundamental ideas of the circulationist perspective to achieve a better understanding of the financialisation of the production processes within contemporary capitalist economies. Importantly, the expert contributors illustrate that the true challenge ahead is to address how these new emerging forms can be eventually tamed, a challenge that the recent financial crisis has forcefully proven essential.

This book will prove an illuminating read for scholars and researchers in the heterodox economics domain.
