Capital Rules: The Construction of Global Finance

Производитель: "Harvard University Press"

The rise of global financial markets in the last decades of the twentieth century was premised on one fundamental idea: that capital ought to flow across country borders with minimal restriction and regulation. Freedom for capital movements became the new orthodoxy. In an intellectual, legal, and political history of financial globalization, Rawi Abdelal shows that this was not always the case. Transactions routinely executed by bankers, managers, and investors during the 1990 strading foreign stocks and bonds, borrowing in foreign currencies - had been illegal in many countries only decades, and sometimes just a year or two, earlier. How and why did the world shift from an orthodoxy of free capital movements in 1914 to an orthodoxy of capital controls in 1944 and then back again by 1994?

Personal

Rawi Abdelal has been quoted as having "unexpected" sources of inspiration for his research. For instance, in his award-winning book National Purpose in the World Economy: Post-Soviet States in Comparative Perspective, he referred to the help he received from Shakespeare and Hamlet:

"When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet's boyhood friends, come to visit him in Denmark, the young prince refers to his homeland as a prison. When Rosencrantz disagrees, Hamlet explains the difference in their opinions: 'There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.' That's what I wanted to get at theoretically and analytically, the question of how to talk about a society's point of view about its relationship with other countries economically."

During a 2008 classroom discussion, he also quoted Jay-Z's popular music video "Blue Magic" as signalling a popular culture "roadpost" regarding the decline of the U.S. dollar. Students were also encouraged by his quoting of popular 1990's movie Fight Club as a sign of the growing sense of inequality engendered by globalization.
