This volume collects the views of philosophers, economists, businessmen, and public intellectuals who, following Hannah Arendt’s approach, suggest that the financial crisis has its roots in the transformed relation of politics and economics. In short, as politics is made subservient to economics, we have subverted the political and ethical boundaries that traditionally limit economic decisions. By reaching beyond “how” the crisis happened to “why” the crisis happened, the authors re-imagine the recent financial crisis and thus provide fresh thinking about how to respond.
