Opis

The anorexic and financialised economy describes why matured economies with super-efficient corporations are dependent on government spending and guarantees. Conventional fiscal and monetary policies are unable to resolve the economic deficiencies because they do not account for how information effects have imposed its imprint on societal structures and disrupted relationships between output, income, profits, employment, capital and interest rates. This book provides new theoretical insights on unemployment, aging, inequality, capital formation, liquidity, governance, markets, information asymmetry, investor protection and financial stability. Perspectives on the paradigms of services, sharing, minimum income and sustainability, the economics of abundance and on the debate on capital are explored. Policy initiatives for fiscal, monetary and securities regulation are also discussed.
