Velka on totaalinen sosiaalinen fakta

2015

Maailmantaloudessa kriisistä on tullut uusi normaalitila. 1990-luvun lopun Aasian ja Etelä-Amerikan taantumien logiikka toistuu 2000-luvulla Yhdysvalloissa ja vanhalla mantereella. Nämä kaikki kriisit ovat kehkeytyneet finanssitalouden keskeisimmän elementin, velan, logiikan mukaan. Velka ei ole kuitenkaan yksinomaan taloudellinen ilmiö. Pikemminkin se on valtasuhde, joka selittää esimerkiksi julkista keskustelua sosiaaliturvasta ja jäsentää ihmisten ajallisuutta. nonPeerReviewed
