The book dismantles superficial explanations that attribute financial crises to individual greed or regulatory failures, focusing instead on the structural logic that drives the expansion of fictitious capital. The reader will find a clear explanation of how financialization transforms the real economy, generating instability and concentrating wealth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDurand examines the nature of fictitious capital, a key concept for understanding the system's recurrent crises. The work explains how the accumulation of financial assets, detached from real production, has become the main engine of the global economy. Through a historical and theoretical analysis, the author shows that turbulence is not accidental, but a logical consequence of a system that prioritizes speculation over productive investment. The book unravels the connections between finance, debt, speculative bubbles, and corporate power, offering a critical perspective on the dynamics that govern current capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNature and functions of fictitious capital in the contemporary economy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between financialization, economic crises, and inequality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical analysis of conventional explanations for financial turbulence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical evolution of financial capitalism from the 20th century to the present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMechanisms of accumulation and concentration of economic power through financial markets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in political economy, sociology, and critical theory, as well as students and professionals seeking to understand the structural roots of financial instability.
