Description
Leading Czech economist Tomáš Sedláček, together with journalist and consultant Roman Chlupatý, invited Joris Luyendijk to the debate. This Dutch anthropologist and writer studied bankers in London's City as a specific type, who are responsible for the deepest crisis of the global economy since the Great Depression of the 1930s. KAFKONOMIE: BY DIVINE WILL OF THE BANKER offers a unique insight into the world of people who decide on the creation and flow of money in the form of a lively conversation. A decade has passed since the collapse of the investment bank Lehman Brothers in 2008, the largest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history. Much has changed since then, but the very foundations, including the belief in the exceptionalism of bankers, have endured. The book is a loose continuation of the successful conversations between Tomáš Sedláček and Roman Chlupatý with Canadian mathematician David Orrell and American anthropologist David Graeber. It is published as the third concluding part of the (post)crisis trilogy.
