Engendering Monetary Policy
Inflation-targeting monetary policy based on the New Keynesian Economic framework has been an obstacle to fiscal stimulus, employment, and growth, reducing public investment in equality supporting services and transfers, with disproportionate impacts for women. Empirical research highlights the gender-based distributional impacts of interest rate interventions via differential changes in employment, wages, and debt servicing burdens. Quantitative…
International financial subordination
Despite a varied picture in terms of their relative economic strength, Developing and Emerging Economies (DEEs) remain in a subordinate position in the global monetary and financial system. While the IPE and economics literatures provide rich insights about the significance of this phenomenon, research efforts remain fragmented. To address this problem, we offer an umbrella concept—international financial subordination (IFS)—to channel research e…
The Evolution of Private Provision in Urban Drinking Water
Empirical research paints a dynamic picture of the evolution of private provision in urban drinking water. A second wave of privatisation is clustered in a key group of countries, distinguished by the rise of new domestic private and quasi-private providers. This is, however, taking place in the presence of a counter-dynamic of remunicipalisation. In response to the complexity in provision arrangements revealed, three case studies are used to ill…
Towards a Marxist Theory of Financialized Capitalism
In the rapid growth of the literature on financialization, the term risks becoming meaningless (“take x, add finance”). This article first reviews this literature, highlighting characteristic empirical features at the macroeconomic level and their variegation across different institutional contexts, then turning to meso- and micro-level multidisciplinary studies of how processes of financialization have manifest in the transformed behavior of fir…
Eurozone crisis
The sovereign debt crisis that broke out in Greece at the end of 2009 is fundamentally due to the precarious integration of peripheral countries in the eurozone. Its immediate causes, however, lie with the crisis of 2007–2009. Speculative mortgage lending by US financial institutions and trading of resultant derivative securities by international banks created a vast bubble in 2001–2007, leading to crisis and recession. State provision of liquidi…
Petty capitalism, perfecting capitalism or post-capitalism? Lessons from the Argentinean barter experiments
The last decade has witnessed a remarkable growth of non-state, not-for-profit monetary systems known as community currencies. The Red del Trueque, or'Barter Network', in Argentina is the first of such systems to grow to a size which encroaches on the state monopoly over the money supply. This article begins with a basic primer on the functioning of the network and offers an explanation for its unprecedented growth in the Argentinean context. The…
