  • Capitalized money, austerity and the math of capitalism

    Open AccessTim Dimuzio, Richard H Robbins et al.ARTICLECurrent Sociology2020Citada por: 2Referências: 29

    This article seeks to contribute to the existing critical debates on money and debt by advancing three main arguments. First, largely due to such debates' tendency for description, the article argues that in in the heterodox literature on money and debt there is no convincing critical theory of money creation. For this reason the authors introduce the theory of capital as power and how it can help us theorize the consequences of present money cre…

  • An anthropological contribution to rethinking the relationship between money, debt, and economic growth

    Open AccessRichard H RobbinsARTICLEFocaal2018Citada por: 1Referências: 16

    Interrelationships among money, debt, and economic growth create a financial system that provides a steady stream of income to banks and private investors- the proverbial 1 percent. However, because economists obscure these interrelationships, threats to the maintenance of the monetary streams of the elite are underreported. Consequently, increasing shares of national incomes must be appropriated to maintain those streams. This article reexamines…

  • Origins

    Open AccessTim Di Muzio, Richard H RobbinsCHAPTERDebt As Power2016

    This chapter argues that the key to understanding debt as a technology of power is not just to appreciate that modern money is largely created as debt by commercial banks but to point out that the production and allocation of money is privately owned. It examines how debt became capitalized by organized power and finds its genealogy rooted in war, the national debt, and the capitalized state of England. While the birth of the Bank of England can …

  • Consequences

    Open AccessTim Di Muzio, Richard H RobbinsCHAPTERDebt As Power2016

    This chapter examines briefly the history of the growth paradigm and the dilemmas that it poses. Debt is a technique and pattern that is being applied in developed countries as well, and may be as odious as the debt foisted upon the developing world. The chapter also examines why maintaining the necessary rate of growth becomes more difficult, and why it necessitates yet more debt and the continuing acceleration of environmental degradation and d…

    Open AccessTim Di Muzio, Richard H RobbinsCHAPTERDebt As Power2016

    This chapter offers twelve solutions, most reflecting those proposed by others, that would become a political platform of a Party of the 99". It suggests the steps necessary to implement these proposals and a political strategy based on the idea that debt is a technology of power that can be utilized by debtors, as well as creditors. Because of the economic insecurity wrought by the 2008 financial crisis and the defunding of pension plans by gove…

  • Intensification

    Open AccessTim Di Muzio, Richard H RobbinsCHAPTERDebt As Power2016

    This chapter illustrates both the amplification and spatial expansion of debt as a technology of power during the era of European colonialism and resistance. A key moment in the resistance to colonial taxation is the Bambatha Rebellion, an armed revolt in the Natal region of South Africa personalized by the name of its minor Zulu leader. The chapter demonstrates how networks of indebtedness reconfigured political communities for the benefit of cr…

  • Toward a Stark Utopia

    Open AccessTim Di Muzio, Richard H RobbinsCHAPTERDebt As Power2016

    This chapter argues that debt within capitalist modernity is a social technology of power and its continued deployment heralds a stark utopia. Debt instruments effectively divide society into debtors and creditors within a power structure that vastly privileges the latter over the former. The chapter presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book traces the origins of debt as a technology of p…

    Open AccessTim Di Muzio, Richard H RobbinsCHAPTERDebt As Power2016

    This book considers the underlying causes of the end of social democracy's golden age. It argues that the cross-national trend in social democratic parties since the 1970s has been towards an accommodation with neo-liberalism and a corresponding dilution of traditional social democratic commitments. The book looks at the impact of the change in economic conditions on social democracy in general, before examining the specific cases of Germany, Swe…

  • Coffee, Fair Trade, and the Commodification of Morality

    Richard H RobbinsARTICLEReviews in Anthropology2013Citada por: 4Referências: 16

    The goals of the fair trade movement include guaranteeing a reasonable income for rural farmers in the Global South, building democratic institutions and gender equality, and promoting environmental sustainability. Proponents claim that consumers, through their buying choices, can counter the negative externalities created by neoliberal reforms of the past three decades. The question is, whether a market-oriented solution can address market-creat…
