Description

Capturing Finance: Arbitrage and Social Domination

Carolyn Hardin offers a new perspective on arbitrage, exploring how it relies on a system of abstract domination built around risk. She argues that this understanding is essential for mitigating the worst consequences of financial capitalism.

The book examines how the commonsense beliefs that taking on debt is necessary for everyday life and investing is necessary for securing retirement income compel individuals to assume risk, while financial institutions amass profits. Hardin's analysis challenges the narratives that naturalize risk as a necessary element of both financial capitalism and social life.
