In 2007, the United States faced a financial crisis that severely impacted the U.S. economy as well as the world economy. Indeed, the financial crisis of 2007 has been characterized as the worst since the Great Crash of 1929. The world economy is yet to recover from the impact. This book seeks to address a number of issues thrown up by the crisis of 2007: Why do banking crises happen so often and why is their impact so severe? What were the main causes of the subprime crisis? In terms of bank regulation, what steps have been taken to prevent such crises in the future and make banking safer? Is banking today indeed safer than in 2007? If not, what are the issues that remain to be addressed in regulatory terms? The book contends that, while several factors can be blamed for the financial crisis of 2007, a failure of regulation was the most important one. After assessing the changes to bank regulation that have happened since, it concludes that these are not good enough to make the banking system considerably safer than before. It argues that we need to look at radical, out-of-the-box solutions if another major financial upheaval is to be prevented. The book is aimed primarily at students of business management, economics and international economics, and at bank executives. It should also be of interest to general readers who are curious to know what the subprime crisis was all about.

"La crise constitue le moment où une partie importante du capital humain est détruite, brisée, comme cela se produit pour les machines qui sont amenées à la casse." Depuis l'effondrement des banques, le capitalisme semble être entré dans une phase de stagnation durable, mais aussi dans une instabilité géopolitique et monétaire. Le scénario qui se joue sous nos yeux évoque une sorte de "socialisme du capital" : l'Etat, qui subvient aux besoins des "soviets de la finance", impose à la société la dictature du marché. Plutôt qu'un effet parasite du capitalisme, cette financiarisation pourrait bien constituer la forme aussi essentielle que perverse de son nouveau régime. Les textes rassemblés dans le présent recueil analysent et commentent les changements économiques survenus ces dix dernières années en revenant sur leurs acteurs principaux, sur certains symptômes de la crise ainsi que sur des phénomènes qui ont pu apparaître jusque-là comme marginaux.

"Economists have rightly been criticized for not having foreseen the crisis that exploded in 2007-2008. As Giancarlo Bertocco eloquently argues, responsibility does indeed rest heavily on their shoulders. By developing a theory which excluded the possibility that a catastrophic crisis could ever happen, the economics profession has justified decisions and behaviours that caused the Great Recession. This book presents an alternative theoretical approach built on the lessons of Marx, Keynes, Schumpeter, Kalecki, Kaldor and Minsky, which highlights the structural instability of a capitalist economy and the endogenous nature of the current crisis. This fascinating book has several distinctive features. It begins by highlighting the limits of traditional economic theory and reveals the contradictions found in mainstream explanations as to the origins of the crisis. The author goes on to argue that economists not only failed to foresee the crisis but actually ignored the warning signs of instability that emerged during the Great Moderation. Bertocco presents an original interpretation of Keynes's argument that underlines the importance of Schumpeter's theory of credit in order to explain the relationship between money and crisis which characterizes a Keynesian monetary theory of production. Finally, he demonstrates that the nature of the crisis has important policy consequences and proposes a specific set of measures that take into account its structural nature. The comprehensive analysis and enlightening theoretical approaches will make this book vital reading for economists, policymakers and students seeking a clear understanding of the nature of the current crisis and the structure of the neoliberal economic system in which we live."--
