  • MATERIAL CULTURES OF FINANCIALISATION
    KATE BAYLISS / ‎BEN FINE / ‎MARY ROBERTSON
    This collection offers pathbreaking framing of the material culture of financialisation.

    BEN FINE
    The idea of Social Capital is an attempt to incorporate social considerations into mainstream economic thinking. Its proponents feel that social factors are properly quantifiable. So, they use the compex algebra and statistics beloved of mainstream economic theory and measure 'units' of health care or education in the same way that they would machinery or transport. Ben Fine's ...

This broad-ranging critique explains that without a much broader political economy the Post-Washington Consensus is unlikely to provide a coherent framework for successful development policies. Development Policy i...
