<br/><br/> "Alt-Finance examines an authoritarian turn in financialised democracies, focusing on the City of London, revealing a dangerous alternative political project in the making. In a clash with traditional finance, the new behemoths of financial capital - hedge funds, private equity firms and real estate funds - have started to cohere around a set of political beliefs, promoting libertarian, authoritarian, climate-denying and Eurosceptic views. Protecting investments, supressing dissent and reducing state interference are at the core of their mission for a new world order. By following the money, the authors provide a clear analysis of the emergence of a new authoritarian-libertarian regime, in Britain and beyond."--
