These standard explanations tend to ignore the systemic dynamics of the accumulation of finance capital, the inherent limits to that accumulation, production and division of economic surplus, class relations, and the balance of social forces that mold economic policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of simply blaming the 'irrational behavior' of market players, as neoliberals do, or lax public supervision, as Keynesians do, this book focuses on the core dynamics of capitalist development that not only created the financial bubble, but also fostered the 'irrational behavior' of market players and subverted public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to its interdisciplinary perspective, this book will be of interest to students and researchers in economics, finance, politics and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ismael Hossein-Zadeh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415638062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415638067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Ismael Hossein-Zadeh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064940802303,"sku":"9780415638067","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31a95833-e96d-4048-8220-37dee7334b13.jpg?v=1768672066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-mainstream-explanations-of-the-ismael-hossein-zadeh-9780415638067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
