Présentation de l'éditeur
The recent financial crisis has had a devastating impact around the
globe. Thousands of businesses have closed, millions of jobs have been
cut and many people have lost their homes. Capital and the Debt Trap
explains how key economies have fallen into a 'debt trap', linking the
financial sphere to the real economy, and looks into alternatives to the
constant stream of financial bubbles and shocks. Overlooked by many,
cooperatives across the world have been relatively resilient throughout
the crisis. Through four case studies, this book explores their
strategies, providing an in-depth analysis within a broader debate on
wealth generation and a sustainable future. To all those interested in
political economy, enterprise governance, development studies and
cooperatives, Capital and the Debt Trap opens up new ways of thinking.
