Bøker av Costas Lapavitsas

A myth-busting pamphlet that charts a course out of the current cost of living crisis

Thinking beyond pandemic capitalism

The work of Costas Lapavitsas on money and finance develops Marxist monetary theory offering fresh insight into contemporary capitalism. It is fully conversant with the history of political economy, mainstream economic theory and the empirical reality of financialisation.

A pathway to Marxist monetary theory, through the papers of one of the field's pre-eminent scholars.

Bringing together well-known political-economists this volume puts the crisis into perspective by analyzing the domestic and international aspects of financialisation.

Where does the power of money come from? Why is trust so important in financial operations? How does the swapping of gifts differ from the exchange of commodities? Where does self-interest stop and communal solidarity start in capitalist economies? These issues and many more are discussed in a rigorous, yet readable, manner.
