5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent analysis of the politics of finance, December 19, 2005
By 
K. J. Delaney (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very compelling book that shows how financial markets of many types are created through politicized processes of discourse, court challenges, and regulatory regimes. What is particularly useful about this book is that the author does not just stake out an interesting argument, she also provides a good deal of evidence to make her case. For example, she charts how different forms of finance are made distinct from "gambling" through discourse, regulation, and court decisions.
