The sequence of events that have taken place in its aftermath show that we are entering a world that is very different from the social & economic conditions that characterized the rise of global informational capitalism in the preceding three decades. The policies & strategies that intended to manage the crisis-with mixed results depending on the country-may usher in a distinctly different economic & institutional system as the New Deal the construction of the European Welfare State & the Bretton Woods global financial architecture all gave rise to a new form of capitalism in the aftermath of the 1930s Depression & World War II. This volume examines the cultures & institutions at the root of the crisis as well as the conflicts & debates that lead to a new social landscape including the rise of alternative economic cultures expressed in the social movements occupying Wall Street.
