The Intellectual Origins of the Global Financial Crisis
The Intellectual Origins of the Global Financial Crisis
Commentary on the financial crisis has offered technical analysis, political finger pointing, and myriad economic and political solutions. But rarely do these investigations reach beyond the economic and political causes of the crisis to explore their underlying intellectual grounds. The essays in this volume delve deeper into the cultural and intellectual foundations, philosophical ideas, political traditions, and economic movements that underlie the greatest financial crisis in nearly a century. Moving beyond traditional economic and political science
approaches, these essays engage thinkers from Hannah Arendt to Max Weber and Adam Smith to Michel Foucault.
