Foreign exchange, security and other derivative markets have expanded dramatically over the past 20 years. More recently they have been associated with the largest economic crisis in 80 years. This unit develops a political economy perspective on these markets, including their vulnerability to crisis and the intrusion of financial calculation into wider social and personal calculation. The unit also addresses the regulation of financial markets and institutions including key regulatory and monitoring agencies and arguments for new regulatory regimes.
