THE GLOBAL STRUGGLE OF FINANCIALISED CAPITALISM
Keywords:
financialization, global, crisis, capitalismAbstract
This paper argues that the last global crisis is the reflection of the financialization process which has been derived from the falling profit rates in the world economies following a long expansion period of capitalism after the Second World War. We see the financialization as a new capitalist accumulation process. Financialization also enlarges the global imbalances. In a financialized world, it is misleading to see it feasible to finance the deficit forever. Hence, sustainability of the present international financial system is uncertain.
