But significant donors (defined here as those contributing more than 200) are the least understood participants in the system. Defenders assert that contributing money to campaigns is part of a broader pattern of civic involvement and is free speech that gives a voice to various interests. Detractors argue that these contributions are undemocratic, enabling wealthy citizens to overwhelm the voices of the many and to promote narrow business 410 0$aPower, Conflict, and Democracy: American Politics Into the 21st Century 606 $aCampaign funds -- United States 606 $aUnited States.

A range of esteemed contributors explore developments in the United States, where the crisis of 2008 originated, as well as the smallest country affected, Iceland, by evaluating developments since 2008. Currently, many countries are facing similar problems as Iceland did in 2008: this book is of interest to economists and policy makers in these countries to study what happened in Iceland, and why the recovery of that economy was strong and swift. The chapters in this book originate from panel discussions and conferences and explore areas including regulation, state projects and inflation. 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aLaw and economics 606 $aFinance 606 $aHistory 606 $aFinancial services industry 606 $aMacroeconomics and Monetary Economics 606 $aInternational Economics 606 $aLaw and Economics 606 $aFinancial History 606 $aFinancial Services 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aLaw and economics. 615 0$aFinance. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aFinancial services industry. 615 14$aMacroeconomics and Monetary Economics. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aLaw and Economics. 615 24$aFinancial History. 615 24$aFinancial Services. 676 $a330.90511 676 $a330.90511 702 $aAliber$b Robert Z. 702 $aGylfi Zoega 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337673803321 996 $aThe 2008 Global Financial Crisis in Retrospect$92159121 997 $aUNINA
