Opis

The contemporary changes in monetized exchanges, such as the electrification and globalization of monetary processes and financial markets, are unequivocal indicators of contemporary globalization. They are also some of the most important, and far-reaching, social changes of our time. Helping to meet the challenges posed by these changes, this important volume focuses on three questions central to the interplay between globalization, valorization and marginalization.
