Financialisation and Development in Asia
Acerca de este libro electrónico
In this volume a collection of leading authors critically assess these developments, highlighting the emergence of financialised modes of development and their contested and often problematic nature. Drawing upon a series of case studies, the contributors explore not just the increasing use of financialised development initiatives, but assess critically their implications in terms of the emergent risks, costs and inequalities that often accompany them.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the Asian Studies Review.
