Discover the compelling analysis in 'The Ascendancy of Finance,' a crucial read for anyone interested in the intricate interplay between economics and politics in the modern world. This insightful book by Joseph Vogl delves deep into the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, highlighting how informal decision-making processes have emerged in a blurred space where government and finance intersect.As you explore the themes of this brand new publication, you'll learn how ad hoc institutions have supplanted traditional governmental authority, shaped by a neoliberal narrative that exploits crises to achieve politically unfeasible goals. Vogl artfully combines historical context with theoretical discourse, demonstrating that finance has ascended to a 'fourth estate,' intricately linking treasury operations with private economic endeavors.
With a focus on the past three centuries, this book outlines a transformative process where the financial sector's influence has significantly increased, reshaping state power and societal structure. Vogl examines the concerning financialization of government, tracing the erosion of state sovereignty as markets gain supremacy, underpinned by policies that favor financial entities.
This 200-page publication, released in 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, offers a profound look into how political systems have become captive to financial regimes and how the corporate model infiltrates daily life, confining citizens to the cycle of financial capital production.

Description:
The global financial crisis of 2008 ushered in a system of informal decision-making in the grey zone between economics and politics. Legitimized by a rhetoric of emergency, ad hoc bodies have usurped democratically elected governments. In line with the neoliberal credo, the recent crisis has been used to realize the politically impossible and to re-align executive power with the interests of the finance industry.
In this important book, Joseph Vogl offers a much longer perspective on these developments, showing how the dynamics of modern finance capitalism have always rested on a complex and constantly evolving relationship between private creditors and the state. Combining historical and theoretical analysis, Vogl argues that over the last three centuries, finance has become a "fourth estate," marked by the systematic interconnection of treasury and finance, of political and private economic interests.
Against this historical background, Vogl explores the latest phase in the financialization of government, namely the dramatic transfer of power from states to markets in the latter half of the 20th century. From the liberalization of credit and capital markets to the privatization of social security, he shows how policy has actively enabled a restructuring of the economy around the financial sector. Political systems are "imprisoned" by the regime of finance, while the corporate model suffuses society, enclosing populations in the production of financial capital.
The Ascendancy of Finance provides valuable and unsettling insight into the genesis of modern power and where it truly resides.

An awesome quartz field watch for very little money
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
I really like this watch from Infantry. It is a sleek, cool stealthy design that goes well with any kind of outfit. It's got a Japanese movement inside it so you know the minutes don't "jump" around when setting it. Also, the date function on mine is still working just great. It's also got mineral glass instead of acrylic. Comes on a nice NATO strap too! Hard to believe it's only 20 bucks.

Best field watch for the price
Color: Black, Color: Black
The watch will display the day of the week in English or Spanish, but unlike similar watches sold on Amazon, it comes with clear instructions to let you choose the language. I don’t like NATO straps and the spring bars for the straps were impossible to remove without cutting away (use diagonal flush cutting pliers), which is the only reason for the 4 star rating, else it would be 5. I put a silicone quick release band on the watch and am very happy with it. The time is very legible, especially with the red highlight on the second hand. I like the 3D effect that shows between the minutes dial and the inner face. Very handsome/gorgeous and no-frills watch. You just can’t do better than this for the price.

Good watch, nice large numbers.
Color: Black
Nice watch. Not illuminated, but luminous hands and dial are easy to read at night. Day/date display is easy to adjust but must avoid doing so between 5PM and 9AM. Seems to be very accurate so far and time is fairly easy to synchronize. No problems with scratched crystal so far, and I wear this watch 24/7. Very long band should fit any size wrist.

POS
Color: Silver
Its just junk.. Quit working within 3 months of purchase. Took it apart and nothing looked bad, put in a new battery and still nothing. I didn't expect much considering the price, but you're practically throwing money in the trash buying this. Costumer service is non-existent if you're looking for a replacement. Amazon will always give money back with a returned item.
