Sabotage: The Hidden Nature of Finance by Anastasia Nesvetailova, Ronen Palan
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.0 MB
Overview: The fundamental motive for financial innovation is not to make the system work better, but to avoid regulation and oversight. This is not a bug of the financial system, but a built-in feature. The president of the US is not a tax avoider because he is an especially fraudulent financier; he’s a tax avoider because he is a wealthy man in a system premised on such deceit. Finance is an industry of sabotage.
This book is a brilliant, intellectual detective story that traces the origins of financial sabotage, starting with the work of a prescient American economist who saw the capacity for banks and businesses to dissemble and profit as early as the 1920s. What was accomplished modestly in the first half of the 20th century became a booming global industry in the 1980s. Financialization took over everything, culminating in instruments so complex and confusing their own creators were being destroyed by them in 2008.
