| Description |
This issue begins by presenting a “Forum on the Financial Crisis.” The financial crisis, many commentators argue, can be traced to the deregulation of the financial system pursued by the Reagan and Clinton Administrations, then continued and deepened under the Bush Administration. Trevor Evans explores this thesis, examining the patterns of economic growth and contraction since 1980. He argues that “the economic model pursued in the United States since the 1980s has resulted in a massive reconcentration of income to the benefit of those at the very top,” a process that intensified even further from 2002 until the crisis. The expansion in the scale and influence of the financial sector was critical to this development.
