Over the last 20 years — and especially over the last decade — the international expansion of money and commodities and the international relocation of production have grown tremendously. As a result, there now exists a real contradiction in accumulation: Although global in orientation, it remains structured by the nation state. Conventional economic literature generally explains the international economy as exogenous to the national economy. Though the former does influence the latter, national economy and policy remain discrete. Conversely, there is a developing literature on globalism that explores the tendency for international capital to eradicate national differences, even to overpower nation states. However, neither interpretation adequately considers the contradictions for national policy that have accompanied the internationalization of capital. In this volume, Dick Bryan examines the influence of the international economy upon domestic accumulation, describing the process as the expression of the contradiction between the international scope of accumulation and the national scope of its regulation. Developing a theoretical framework for understanding the contradiction within Marxist political economy, he addresses the theory of value on an international scale, as well as theories of global restructuring and crisis. These issues are then applied to those domestic policies — such as monetary policy and balance of payments — that interrelate with the international economy. The author argues that the conventional theories informing these approaches have consistently failed to recognize the contradictions in international accumulation. National economic management has, as a result, reverted to explicit class politics, attempting to solve domestic economic problems by targeting the living standards of labor

What are the links between things as diverse as the prices of pork bellies, interest rates, and corporate stock? They are all being translated into risk and priced through the system of derivative markets. Financial derivatives are now the largest form of financial transaction in the world, and they are transforming in pervasive ways the lived experience of capitalist economies. Financial derivatives are anchoring the global financial system and challenging the conventional understanding of ownership, money and capital. These challenges are examined in this book, providing a significant reinterpretation of contemporary capitalism that will be of interest to both social scientists and conventional finance scholars.

Sans Dick Rivers, le paysage musical ne serait pas ce qu’il est. Pièce maîtresse de la « sainte trilogie du rock français », il est au rock’n’roll ce que Jimi Hendrix est à la guitare : indispensable ! Dans Very Dick, trente-cinq ans d’une carrière de légende sont passés à la moulinette des souvenirs. On y trouve des hauts, des bas, des filles, des radio-crochets, deux Beatles, un King, Coluche, quelques Chats Sauvages, Cabrel, une baie des Anges, un coin de Texas, des disques d’or, des tournées de folie, d’autres de galères, bref une vie d’artiste. Mais surtout la vie d’un homme intègre, arrivé sans compromission au sommet de la gloire. Authentiquement rock’n’roll par l’attitude, Dick Rivers est un homme de cœur qui a su faire de ses espoirs et de ses passions une réalité !
