«Stop à la dérive des banques et de la finance» is the economics essay by Claude Simon and Collectif Roosevelt, published by Editions de l'Atelier in paperback (64 pages, in French).
The book starts from the idea, widespread since the 1980s, that the market can solve society's problems on its own, and shows how that neoliberal ideology ended up dominating banking and the economy. According to the authors, its application is the underlying cause of the crisis affecting Western economies since 2008. Faced with the growing power of a financial sector that dictates its law to states, they propose demystifying its practices to make them understandable and defending concrete political solutions, such as separating banks and prohibiting them from speculating with their own funds.
Work by Collectif Roosevelt, a group linked to Stéphane Hessel, published in 2014 as part of its campaign for a fairer society. It has 64 pages and is written in French.
Recommended for those seeking an accessible and critical explanation of the financial crisis, the role of banking, and alternatives for regulating the financial system.
Claude Eugène Henri Simon was a French novelist and recipient of the 1985 Nobel Prize in Literature.
