Financialization made in Germany: A review 

Daniel Detzer | 2019

 

Abstract: This article examines the spread of financialization in Germany before the financial crisis. It provides an up-to date overview on the literature on financialization and reviews which of the phenomena typically associated with financialization have emerged in Germany. In particular, the article aims to clarify how the prevailing institutional structure and its changes had contributed to or had countervailed the spread of financialization and how it had shaped the specific German variant of financialization. For this end, it combines the rich literature on Germany's institutional structure with the more macroeconomic oriented literature on financializaton. With the combination of those different perspectives the article sheds light on the reasons for the spread of financialization and the specific forms it has taken in Germany.

Key words: Banking, Corporate Governance, Financialization, Financial Sector, Financial Regulation, Varieties of Capitalism

Introduction to Marxist Economics (Part 1)
In this lecture Ben Fine aims at stimulating interest for and explaining the relevance of Marxist Political Economy. Ben Fine dedicates the first half of his comprehensible lecture to the question on how mainstream economics became the way it is by explaining its key concepts and how those evolved during the past 150 years. While critically reflecting those concept he also emphasizes that mainstream economics does not consider historical processes. This is the point of departure on his presentation of the core terms and crucial categories of Marxist Political Economy: e.g. the production process and class relations (Part 1). Part 2 examines the consequences of the capitalist mode of production and its propensity to crises. Ben Fine illustrates this Marxist analysis with the example of the current crisis and explains current conditions for the accumulation of capital.

Vom Giralgeld zu Vollgeld
Jospeh Huber diskutiert zunächst zwei unterschiedliche Kreislaufsysteme von Geld von Privatbanken und Zentralbankgeld. Dann erläutert er, wie Geldschöpfung auf der Ausweitung der Bilanzen von Banken, also Schulden, basiert und somit zu Vermögensinflation, Blasen, Finanzkrise, Schuldenkrisen und einer Umverteilung von Realgütern von Arbeit zu Kapital führt. Nach Huber würden diese Probleme verschwinden, wenn Geldschöpfung Zentralbanken vorbehalten wäre und über den Staat in den Geldkreislauf gebracht würde. In den letzten 45 Minuten der Vorlesung werden Fragen aus dem Publikum beantwortet.

Capital controls - Investigating International Finance, Episode 2
In the second video of the series Investigating International Finance, an alternative view on capital controls is given contrasting with the paradigm of classical trade theory suggesting that the removal of trade and capital barriers is associated with higher market efficiency. After explaining the conceptual mechanisms underlying capital controls, examples are introduced where countries actually apply capital controls and how these controls have been associated with a lesser exposure to international financial crises spillovers.
