It documents the severe rise in unemployment and its repercussions in the worst-affected countries (the Republic of Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia) and how this has, to a varying extent (...) overwhelmed the underdeveloped systems of social protection. It argues that, in light of this experience, urgent action is required both to relieve current social distress and to strengthen systems of social protection.(...)

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 crises of democratic capitalism Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Wolfgang Streeck, Auteur Editeur : London [UK] : New Left Review Année de publication : September-October 2011 Importance : 25 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Crise économique et financière
Finances internationalesTags : Economie internationale Capitalisme Résumé : The collapse of the American financial system that occurred in 2008 has since turned into an economic and political crisis of global dimensions.1 How should this world-shaking event be conceptualized? Mainstream economics has tended to conceive society as governed by a general tendency toward equilibrium, where crises and change are no more than temporary deviations from the steady state of a normally well-integrated system. A sociologist, however, is under no such compunction. Rather than construe our present affliction as a one-off disturbance to a fundamental condition of stability, I will consider the ‘Great Recession’2 and the subsequent near-collapse of public finances as a manifestation of a basic underlying tension in the political-economic configuration of advanced-capitalist societies; a tension which makes disequilibrium and instability the rule rather than the exception, and which has found expression in a historical succession of disturbances within the socio-economic order. More specifically, I will argue that the present crisis can only be fully understood in terms of the ongoing, inherently conflictual transformation of the social formation we call ‘democratic capitalism’.

Titre : The eurozone crisis : how banks and sovereigns came to be joined at the hip Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Ashoka Mody, Auteur ; Damiano Sandri, Auteur Editeur : Economic Policy Année de publication : April 2012 Importance : 32 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Crise économique et financière Tags : Crise financière Monnaie Euro Europe Banques Résumé : The eurozone sovereign and banking crisis evolved in three phases. Following the onset of the subprime tremors in July 2007, the risk premia (spreads) on bonds issued by eurozone sovereigns rose from historically low levels; but they rose largely in tandem across the eurozone membership along with global banking stresses. The rescue of the US investment bank, Bear Stearns, in March 2008, oddly enough, marked the start of a distinctively European banking crisis accompanied by increased differentiation of countries within the eurozone. With the greater expectation of public support for distressed banks, the spreads that a sovereign paid tended to rise following evidence of stress in its domestic financial sector. This was especially so in countries with lower growth prospects and higher debt burdens. But there was as yet no feedback from banks to sovereigns. Finally, as the limits of fiscal support for domestic banks became clearer, and coinciding with the nationalization of Anglo Irish in January 2009 but gathering steam with evidence of the Greek sovereign’s distress in May 2010, sovereign weaknesses also came to be quickly transmitted to a more pessimistic assessment of the financial sector’s prospects, creating the potential of mutual destabilization.
