Discover the compelling analysis in 'The Ascendancy of Finance,' a crucial read for anyone interested in the intricate interplay between economics and politics in the modern world. This insightful book by Joseph Vogl delves deep into the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis, highlighting how informal decision-making processes have emerged in a blurred space where government and finance intersect.

As you explore the themes of this brand new publication, you'll learn how ad hoc institutions have supplanted traditional governmental authority, shaped by a neoliberal narrative that exploits crises to achieve politically unfeasible goals. Vogl artfully combines historical context with theoretical discourse, demonstrating that finance has ascended to a 'fourth estate,' intricately linking treasury operations with private economic endeavors.

With a focus on the past three centuries, this book outlines a transformative process where the financial sector's influence has significantly increased, reshaping state power and societal structure. Vogl examines the concerning financialization of government, tracing the erosion of state sovereignty as markets gain supremacy, underpinned by policies that favor financial entities.

This 200-page publication, released in 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, offers a profound look into how political systems have become captive to financial regimes and how the corporate model infiltrates daily life, confining citizens to the cycle of financial capital production.

Description:
The global financial crisis of 2008 ushered in a system of informal decision-making in the grey zone between economics and politics. Legitimized by a rhetoric of emergency, ad hoc bodies have usurped democratically elected governments. In line with the neoliberal credo, the recent crisis has been used to realize the politically impossible and to re-align executive power with the interests of the finance industry.

In this important book, Joseph Vogl offers a much longer perspective on these developments, showing how the dynamics of modern finance capitalism have always rested on a complex and constantly evolving relationship between private creditors and the state. Combining historical and theoretical analysis, Vogl argues that over the last three centuries, finance has become a "fourth estate," marked by the systematic interconnection of treasury and finance, of political and private economic interests.

Against this historical background, Vogl explores the latest phase in the financialization of government, namely the dramatic transfer of power from states to markets in the latter half of the 20th century. From the liberalization of credit and capital markets to the privatization of social security, he shows how policy has actively enabled a restructuring of the economy around the financial sector. Political systems are "imprisoned" by the regime of finance, while the corporate model suffuses society, enclosing populations in the production of financial capital.

The Ascendancy of Finance provides valuable and unsettling insight into the genesis of modern power and where it truly resides.

Durability is no joke!
Excellent product! Our GSD puppy chewed it for the past 10 months and she is a pretty strong chewer. Only now did she manage to get a couple small pieces off of it, and WoofBite was quick to provide our one-time replacement. Great customer service! Will purchase more of their products and highly recommend!

So far so good
Had this for almost a month and no chunks have been chewed off yet. I have a lab who prefers chewing over pulling or retrieving type toys. She's destroyed everything we've given her --sometimes within minutes. She loves Wubbas but she chews them to bits immediately. Other toys get chunks or small pieces chewed off and we wind up throwing them away. This has lasted well. Full disclosure, we only pull out toys at the end of the day for just a couple of hours, and we are within sight of her the whole time, that's why 4 stars. But so far to our surprise this has held up very well.

Indestructible m
It’s actually indestructible. I have a black mouth cur who once ripped apart a Kong toy in minutes. Got him this and another ball shaped one for Xmas and 5 months later, there are just some puncture holes, no rips or chunks taken out! They’re in his top 3 favorite toys for sure!

Truly great quality for tough chewers
I seldom leave reviews, but after years of reading endless reviews for different dpg toy products that claim to be "indestructible" but end up being no match for our sweet but genuinely TOUGH chewer pitbull, I never expect much... so was so pleasantly surprised, no, shocked, by the quality of this WoofBite toy. Please note these photos are after about 3 months of use (and you may notice our dog is laying in a sea of other decimated toys that lasted only days, if not hours). Again, not a big reviewer, and I know no two dogs are the same, but if our experience is any indication, we felt we needed to make this recommendation to other bully breed owners out there who, like us, are skeptical of anything out there claiming to be indestructible. While our dog gets so much joy and takes great pride in the art of destruction, the endless revolving door of buying her new toys translates to lots of money spent. It is nice to finally find a new option to add to our very limited list of brands we will buy for her. Good news is, she still really enjoys playing with this toy and she is enjoying the challenge. I can confidently say this has been a GREAT buy for our spoiled little pitbull and we will be scooping up more for her grandparents house, our summer camp, and some backups just in case these ever become unavailable. Thank you!
