Central Bank Capitalism
The Banker Ladies
Monetary Policy in Times of Crisis Joscha Wullweber
Vanguards of Solidarity Economics and Community-Based Banks Caroline Shenaz Hossein
As Joscha Wullweber shows, there has been a radical change in the state-market nexus. With governments refraining from strong and comprehensive fiscal and financial regulatory policies, central banks have become the main stabilizing force and the nodal point of financial circulation. These overburdened institutions are called on to make near-daily interventions to avert crisis. Wullweber calls this historic phase central bank capitalism. His book offers a lucid account of our current state of permanent crisis with its new dilemmas and paradoxes that pose enormous challenges to financial and economic stability.

Capital and Time For a New Critique of Neoliberal Reason Martijn Konings Critics of capitalist finance tend to focus on its speculative character. Our financial markets, they lament, encourage irresponsible bets on the future that reflect no real underlying value. Why is it, then, that opportunities for speculative investment continue to proliferate in the wake of major economic crises? Konings offers a new interpretation of both the economic problems that emerged during the 1970s and neoliberalism’s response. This book moves beyond mere denouncements of financial speculation to rethink the role of uncertainty, contingency, and time in contemporary capitalism. STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Unapologetically biased towards a group of women who have been purposely sidelined and put down for what they do, The Banker Ladies highlights how, in order to educate oneself about their contributions to politics and economics, it is imperative to listen to the voices of hundreds of Black women in charge of financial services for their communities. This book sheds light on the activism of the Black women who act as Banker Ladies in their communities, educating readers about their contributions to economic cooperation.

Critical theorists of economy tend to understand the history of market society as a succession of distinct stages. Rather than each present leaving a set past behind it, the past continually circulates through and shapes the present. This vision of history rests on a chronological conception of time whereby each present slips into the past so that a future might take its place. This book argues that the linear mode of thinking misses something crucial about the dynamics of contemporary capitalism.Pushing beyond linear accounts of economic history, author Samman instead argues in History in Financial Times that the past continually circulates through and shapes the present in unexpected ways.
