Alt-Finance

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Fascinating. Shows convincingly that Brexit was financed by hedge funds and alternative finance, and that their ultimate goal was to promote a new wave of financial deregulation and buy off our democratic institutions. A great piece of social sciences and a must-read' -- Thomas Piketty, author of 'Capital in the Twenty-First Century' 'A fresh and urgent agenda for social science research for years to come' -- Johan Heilbron, Professor in the Sociology of Education at Uppsala University 'An unparalleled look into the class interests driving today's anti-democratic insurgency and its links with the authoritarian libertarianism of the hard right. Ground-breaking' -- Melinda Cooper is based at the Australian National University 'A remarkable foray into the radicalisation of the political order inherent in our contemporary financial condition: an order for which remaining pockets of liberal democracy are no longer of use' -- Fabian Muniesa, Professor at the Ecole des Mines de Paris 'Rare and empirically rich' -- Contretemps 'A dark tale, announcing the new concept of an 'authoritarian libertarianism'' -- Mediapart 'This provocative opus remarkably demonstrates how conflicts among different fractions of capital were the key drivers of UK's recent Eighteenth Brumaire: Brexit' -- Olivier Godechot, author of 'Wages, Bonuses and the Appropriation of Profit in the Financial Industry'
