Regulating Capitalism - The Politics Of Market And Financial Regulation

by Brigita Schmognerova

~~105,34€~~ 94,81€ 10% OFF

 Inspired by Karl Polanyi''s assertion that a self-adjusting market cannot persist without undermining the human and natural fabric of society, this book explores the critical role of market regulation in sustaining capitalism. It defends the thesis that "regulation is saving capitalism," while acknowledging the cyclical nature of market regulation: periods of regulation are often followed by waves of deregulation, creating "a swinging pendulum" phenomenon.Combining approaches from political economy and history of regulatory approaches in theory and practice, the book investigates the sensitivity of the pendulum to its driving forces incl. "material causes," changes in a political power, competing interests, etc. It verifies the capacity of two main theories of regulation to explain this cyclical phenomenon.Part I. of the book examines, with a specific focus on regulation in the European Union, main goals of regulation, the redistributive effects of regulation, regulatory capture by vested interests including "international policing mechanisms," risks of regulatory failure, the dangers of overregulation, and limits of self-regulation as well as questions the efficacy of the Better Regulation agenda. Part II. provides an in-depth analysis of financial regulation, it explores the key endogenous factors and some exogenous factors of financial instability (like COVID-19, climate change) which underline the need to regulate financial capitalism in order to maintain financial stability without jeopardising innovation, growth and competitiveness. It discusses the rapid evolution of European financial regulation since the 2007/8 financial crisis, including efforts to complete the European Banking Union, advance the European Capital Market, and promote Sustainable finance.Drawing on the author''s scholarly as well as practical experiences as the former Deputy Prime Minister (1994) and Finance Minister (1998-2002) of the Slovak Republic, this book is written for both professionals in regulatory agencies and government institutions, as well as scholars with an interest in regulatory issues and economic policy.

Age Of Debt Bubbles - An Analysis Of Debt Crises, Asset Bubbles And Monetary Policy

~~43,71€~~ 39,34€ 10% OFF

 This book illustrates how central bank policies such as zero percent interest rates have brought about a $300 trillion global debt bubble. The authors, both academics and policy-makers, offer first-hand insights into the economic and financial market mechanisms that have caused the debt bubbles of the past few decades, as well as the political economy that drives such policy-making.Written in an accessible style, the book illustrates how central banks responded to recessions by creating successively larger debt bubbles with lower and lower interest rates, thereby distorting the pricing mechanisms of credit markets and bringing about a series of credit expansions beginning in the early 1980s.This book brings together senior policy-makers from the world of politics and central banking who describe the negative effects of central bank policies of the last generation. The policy-makers include the former manager of the Monetary and Economic Department at the Bank for International Settlements (the central bank of central banks), the Vice President of the Austrian central bank, the former governor of the Spanish central bank and a former senior member of the European Parliament.The core part of the book is written by experienced economists with academic rigor, with other chapters written by senior policy-makers going through the intricacies of the problems of central banking, and how things might be reformed.

Investing In A Changing Climate - Navigating Challenges And Opportunities

by Ludovic Subran e Markus Zimmer

~~72,86€~~ 65,57€ 10% OFF

 Net Zero is not enough. We have dithered so long about climate change that, by now, we would need to go to negative-emissions territory, well before 2050, to keep global warming under the iconic 1.5°C target. The national commitments made so far fall short of what is needed, and so do the investments envisioned. But even with the best of intentions, it is hard for policymakers and potential investors to discern where, in the profusion of initiatives and technologies, it would make sense to focus their attention and resources.This is where this book comes in. It offers a clear-eyed view of how far along the decarbonization path six key sectors of the economy are—namely energy, utilities, transportation, industry, buildings, and agriculture—and which areas and technologies within each sector are promising in terms of investments to advance the cause. Furthermore, a special chapter on Africa spotlights a continent that is simultaneously one of the worst affected by climate change, the most likely to see its greenhouse gas emissions increase—and the one with the greatest potential for solving the West''s, and the world’s, energy transition and economic growth conundrum.As such, the book serves as a concise guide both to the state of the battle against global warming, and for investors, professionals, and policymakers to find their way through the maze of options.
