“ Systemic Fragility in the Global Economy offers a penetrating analysis of economic stagnation in advanced economies by providing a sustained and systemic focus on the role of finance, an analysis that probes further than mainstream economic analysis. Rasmus has made a signal contribution to contemporary economics and provided a vitally important X-ray of the political economy of stagnation.” Prof. Jan Nederveen Pieterse, Journal of Post Keynesian Economics

“A major contribution is the analysis of the complexity of shadow banking, an ill-defined term of art in most of the literature.” Prof. Bob Jessop , Lancaster University, UK, Capital & Class , Vol. 40, No. 2, June 2016

” Overall, Rasmus has supplied a great deal of food for thought in exploring issues central to the world economy. In stimulating readers to think about them – even to the point of disagreement – he has provided a very real service.” Alex Field, The European Financial Review , April, 2016

“This is a great book and the substantial effort it takes to read it is well worth it. It is both a compelling economic history and a call for change….” David R. Baker, Business Reporter, San Francisco Chronicle
