- The recent crisis, created by finance capitalism, has brought us to the economic abyss. The excessive freedom of international markets has rapidly transformed into international panic, with states struggling to rescue and bail out a globalised financial sector. Reform is promised by our leaders, but in governments dominated by financial interests there is little hope of meaningful change. Authors of this volume argue for a response that addresses capitalism's systemic tendency towards crisis, a tendency which is completely absent from the mainstream debate. They develop a concept of a moderated capitalism that keeps its core strengths intact while reducing its inherent destructive political force in our societies. Reforming the capitalist system will have to be far more radical than the current political discourse suggests. Figures.
