Interview Joseph E. Stiglitz: „Es hätte längst einen großen Crash geben müssen“
Der Ökonomie-Nobelpreisträger glaubt, dass die Finanzmärkte die Risiken der Trump-Revolution völlig unterschätzen, und sieht eine postamerikanische Weltwirtschaft heraufziehen.

Too much finance
Organised by Tax Justice Network, London School of Economics, the International Inequality Institute, the Balanced Economy Project, Finance Innovation Lab and The Manchester School (journal)
Event description
Research context
The ‘too much finance’ (TMF) literature, initiated by Arcand, Berkes and Panizza (2012, 2015) and Cecchetti and Kharroubi (2012) and applied more to lower-income countries by Sahay et al. (2015), and surveyed by Carré and L’oeillet (2018), has found empirical evidence that – in contrast to the old consensus that financial development is an aid to economic growth – an outsized financial sector becomes a drag on growth.
The symposium will form the basis for a special issue in the Manchester School. The range of papers will address the following outstanding issues in TMF:
the evidential strength of the TMF findings, including in particular the recent econometric critiques of Fajeau (2021), Eberhardt and Cho (2022) and Luintel, Li and Khan (2024);
the various different mechanisms that might underlie the basic TMF result;
the extension and deepening of the literature as it pertains to inequalities; and
the policy implications.
Keynote papers will be delivered by Thorsten Beck (EUI, Florence), who contributed to the original consensus in this area and has tracked the more recent arguments; and by Jayati Ghosh (U.Mass, Amherst), whose paper will reflect her leading work on international economic and financial issues as they affect countries at different levels of per capita income.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ledvqzd2txvrofs5adc6tq7c/bafkreiazpyh6clst4ganrqvohamppw7i3xfd7zjmasqrwo6jdyozfeqh6u@jpeg)
