Economics alone cannot fully explain how global finance operates, and why it is so crisis prone. Global Finance offers a wider approach in three key ways, by: - setting markets and financial market failure in a historical context - bringing politics and culture back into the analysis of global finance - drawing on the latest thinking by sociologists of economic life. With a convincing argument for better regulation of markets, Robert Holton provides a fascinating insight into the volatile and often misunderstood world of global finance. This is a key text for undergraduate students of sociology, economics, business, and politics, as well as being an incisive, informative read for anyone with an interest in this topical issue"--cProvided by publisher. 0aInternational finance.92066 0aBanks and banking, International. 0aGlobal Financial Crisis, 2008-2009. 0aInternational economic relationsxSocial aspects. 0aInternational economic relationsxPolitical aspects. 0aGlobalization.9473  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBOOK
