Titre : The creation and destruction of value : the globalization cycle Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Harold James, Auteur Editeur : London : Harvard University Press Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 324 p Note générale : 02.01.JAM Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Histoire économique
Crise économique et financièreTags : Mondialisation Histoire économique Crise financière Banques Index. décimale : 02.01 Finances Résumé : Harold James examines the vulnerability and fragility of processes of globalization, both historically and in the present. This book applies lessons from past breakdowns of globalization—above all in the Great Depression—to show how financial crises provoke backlashes against global integration: against the mobility of capital or goods, but also against flows of migration. By a parallel examination of the financial panics of 1929 and 1931 as well as that of 2008, he shows how banking and monetary collapses suddenly and radically alter the rules of engagement for every other type of economic activity.
Increased calls for state action in countercyclical fiscal policy bring demands for trade protection. In the open economy of the twenty-first century, such calls are only viable in very large states—probably only in the United States and China. By contrast, in smaller countries demand trickles out of the national container, creating jobs in other countries. The international community is thus paralyzed, and international institutions are challenged by conflicts of interest. The book shows the looming psychological and material consequences of an interconnected world for people and the institutions they create.The creation and destruction of value : the globalization cycle [texte imprimé] / Harold James, Auteur . - London : Harvard University Press, 2009 . - 324 p.

Titre : The great depression : reinventing free markets since the Depression Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Angus Burgin, Auteur Editeur : London : Harvard University Press Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 303 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Histoire économique Marchés libres Néolibéralisme Index. décimale : 01.01 - GENERALITES Résumé : Just as today's observers struggle to justify the workings of the free market in the wake of a global economic crisis, an earlier generation of economists revisited their worldviews following the Great Depression. The Great Persuasion is an intellectual history of that project. Angus Burgin traces the evolution of postwar economic thought in order to reconsider many of the most basic assumptions of our market-centered world. Conservatives often point to Friedrich Hayek as the most influential defender of the free market. By examining the work of such organizations as the Mont Pelerin Society, an international association founded by Hayek in 1947 and later led by Milton Friedman, Burgin reveals that Hayek and his colleagues were deeply conflicted about many of the enduring problems of capitalism. Far from adopting an uncompromising stance against the interventionist state, they developed a social philosophy that admitted significant constraints on the market. Postwar conservative thought was more dynamic and cosmopolitan than has previously been understood. It was only in the 1960s and '70s that Friedman and his contemporaries developed a more strident defense of the unfettered market. Their arguments provided a rhetorical foundation for the resurgent conservatism of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan and inspired much of the political and economic agenda of the United States in the ensuing decades. Burgin's brilliant inquiry uncovers both the origins of the contemporary enthusiasm for the free market and the moral quandaries it has left behind.
