Banking and Financial Circuits and the Role of the State

Edited by Louis-Philippe Rochon, Full Professor, Laurentian University, Canada, Editor-in-Chief of Review of Political Economy and Founding Editor Emeritus, Review of Keynesian Economics and Mario Seccareccia, Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa, Canada and Editor, International Journal of Political Economy

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.
