Fictitious Capital by Cédric Durand
How Finance is Appropriating Our Future
The book explores the concept of fictitious capital, examining how financial markets and speculative investments have become increasingly detached from the real economy. It delves into the mechanisms through which financial capital generates profits without corresponding to tangible production or value creation, highlighting the risks and instabilities this poses to global economies. The author critiques the dominance of financialization in contemporary capitalism, arguing that it leads to economic imbalances and social inequalities. Through a critical analysis, the book calls for a reevaluation of economic priorities and the need for more sustainable and equitable financial practices.
