SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: "2024: The State of Financial Capitalism"
DESCRIPTION:This public roundtable brings together the authors of three rec
 ent political economy books to discuss their takes on the status quo of fi
 nancial capitalism and its relationship with politics and the state. Costa
 s Lapavitsas\, together with the EReNSEP Writing Collective\, has just pub
 lished “The State of Capitalism. Economy\, Society\, and Hegemony” (Ve
 rso). Looking at the post-pandemic age\, they perceive our time as a histo
 rical interregnum in the Gramscian sense where the old is dying but the ne
 w cannot be born. In “Offshore Finance and State Power” (Oxford Univer
 sity Press)\, Andrea Binder studies the role of states in the global finan
 cial system which is dominated by offshore centers and tax havens. Drawing
  on case studies of Germany\, Britain\, Mexico\, and Brazil\, she develops
  a theoretical explanation for why states may not always want to regulate 
 offshore financial services and discusses the implications for democracy. 
 Éric Monnet\, currently a fellow at Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin\, talks
  about his forthcoming book “Balance of Power. Central Banks and the Fat
 e of Democracies” (Chicago University Press). He argues that even though
  technocratically led central banks seem to be “the only game in town”
  after decades of financial crises\, it is possible to construct a more de
 mocratic role for them in the future.
