Though neoliberalism has faced renewed challenges in recent years, it nonetheless remains the dominant ideology throughout much of the West. This book brings together a stellar group of social and policy analysts to mount a powerful challenge to neoliberal framing and policies.

''Thomas Marois'' book, States, Banks and Crisis, is highly attractive to development scholars because of the combinations of topics it discusses, the countries analyzed, and its characterization of financial capital as dominant. In the last century the states of Mexico and Turkey promoted robust economic growth guided by powerful public banking organizations. The book captures how this came to a halt since the 1980s through the privatizing of economic activity, especially banking activities in ways that induced steep banking crises that halted economic development.
