The Violence of Money (Excerpt): Monetary Crises

Book section: In keeping with the dual nature of the monetary relationship, crises may take on two polar-opposite forms: the resurgence of either centralising or fragmenting trends. Both also upset the fragile balance that the hierarchised system has brought about. But, contrary to what a casual inspection might suggest, the two processes are not symmetrical.
