{"product_id":"the-great-credit-crash-isbn-9781844674312","title":"The Great Credit Crash","description":"Most accounts of the current financial crisis tell a story of deregulation, out-of-control markets and irresponsible speculation. But few of those works have done more than regurgitate the newspaper coverage. In contrast, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Credit Crash\u003c\/i\u003e digs deeper, drawing on some of the most prominent radical analysts of the modern market to foreground the key questions that are still waiting to be answered. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume presents a more complete and convincing analysis of the recent economic disaster, which is revealed as a product of a social order built during the triumphalist years of neoliberal capitalism. The contributors assess current events and political responses, critically examining official rhetoric and hegemonic narratives to point the way to an understanding of the crisis beyond the subprime headlines.\u003cb\u003eMartijn Konings\u003c\/b\u003e is a Researcher in the Amsterdam Institute for Metropolitan and International Development Studies at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWalden Bello\u003c\/b\u003e is a political activist and Professor of Sociology and Public Administration at the University of the Philippines in Manila, as well as executive director of Focus on the Global South, a policy research institute based in Bangkok and for which he was the Founding Director.
