A Cultural history of finance /

Finel-Honigman, Irene

A Cultural history of finance / Irene Finel-Honigman - London : Routledge, 2010 - xiii, 338p. 24cm.

The book explores the political and socio-economic factors which determine fallibility and resilience in financial cultures, periods of crisis, transition and recovery based on cyclical rather than linear progression. It proves that cultural and psychosocial reactions to financial success, endeavor and calamity transcend specific periods or events examining the roots of financial capitalism, in Europe and the United States and its corollary development in Asia, Russia and emerging markets. It allows the reader to discover parallel and intersecting reactions, controversies and resolutions in the cultural history of financial markets and institutions.
