‘There is an urgent need for political economy analysis that theorises the role of finance in emerging capitalist countries. Thomas Marois’s book is therefore an especially valuable - and accessible - contribution to the literature. . . The book marks a vital step in the project to integrate a Marxian theory of state–society relations into our understanding of the role of finance in emerging capitalist countries. For this reason it deserves to be read much more widely than simply by those with an interest in banking in Mexico and Turkey.’
