began to seriously undermine the global economy in late 2008. For once the
phrase ‘to turn the world upside down’ could hardly be more merited: the most
right-wing US President in living memory is accused by members of Congress
in his own party of being a ‘Bolshevik’ pursuing ‘financial socialism’ while in
the UK the ‘New Labour’ government is being praised for nationalising more
of the British economy than the most socialist, post-1945 Labour government
ever did. Instead of the diminution of the state, the era of neoliberal
globalization appears to have culminated in a reassertion of state economic
power: place-based public finance has come to the rescue of flow-based
private finance.
