Could even relatively small financial sacrifices by the affluent work, through benign leverage, to achieve that goal? \u003cem\u003eGlobal Justice and Finance\u003c\/em\u003e casts new light on such questions by considering what is presupposed about\u003cbr\u003efinance. Redistributive proposals assume money to be a reliable measure, store of value, and medium of exchange. Yet maintaining stable interest, inflation, and exchange rates in a dynamic capitalist economy is a considerable achievement involving a complex financial system. Such global coordination\u003cbr\u003ecould, if so directed, contribute immensely to humanity's betterment, yet under the direction of a profit seeking elite it leaves a majority disempowered, impoverished, and indebted. To pay debts, ever more desperate measures to wrest value from the world's natural resources increase ecological\u003cbr\u003epressures to harmful extremes, and those pressures do not stop short of driving wars. The profit seeking economy is held in place by the complex legal arrangements that constitute finance. Globally, there has developed, unannounced and unaccountably, what amounts to a privatised constitution -\u003cbr\u003ebinding agreements that transcend sovereign jurisdictions. Hopes of redirecting the financial assets created within this system, by means of modest reforms, towards objectives of social justice and ecological sustainability may prove illusory. To achieve such objectives arguably requires the\u003cbr\u003econstitution of a global normative order guided by public and political decision-making. The achievement of a publicly accountable constitutional order that is superordinate to the financial system might be regarded as a revolutionary transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Hayward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198842767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTim Hayward, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Environmental Political Theory, University of Edinburgh\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTim Hayward is Professor of Environmental Political Theory at the University of Edinburgh. After completing a doctorate on human rights at the University of Sussex, he held positions in Italy and Wales before settling at the University of Edinburgh. Having written extensively on how environmental\u003cbr\u003evalues might be integrated into social and political theory, his more recent work examines obstacles to political progress. The present study of the challenges presented by financialized capitalism has led to exploratory research into how populations are manipulated by propaganda into accepting\u003cbr\u003epolicies that are not in their own best interests or those of justice, sustainability or peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39932118401139,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_35b125df-62a7-481f-8d5d-64c1433b38eb.jpg?v=1647790534","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/global-justice-finance-9780198842767","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
