Description

Fictions of Financialization: Rethinking Speculation, Exploitation and Twenty-First-Century Capitalism by Nick Bernards offers a comprehensive critique of the financialization discourse. This book challenges the dominant narrative that focuses on confronting the financial elite as a solution to economic problems. By exploring the interconnection between capitalism's uneven exploitation of labour and nature, and financial capital, Bernards provides an alternative approach to understanding the true powers of finance. A Marxist reading of this complex relationship lays the groundwork for a much-needed view of the real workings of finance. As Associate Professor of Global Sustainable Development at the University of Warwick, Nick Bernards brings valuable expertise to this critical examination of capitalism and its financial underpinnings.
