Sun (Leeds Metropolitan U., England), Louche (Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School, Belgium), and P矇rez (U. Montpellier 1, France) present 15 papers originating out of a research program
devoted to debating aspects of the 2008 global financial crisis within an embedded understanding of the economy that links economic activity to the broader socio-economic environment. The
essays address three key research areas: reformulation of the conventional financial-market oriented paradigm dominating economic policy, corporate governance, and business management;
analyzing the roles, behaviors, and attitudes of different stakeholders in economic and social life in relation to the financial crisis; and evaluating proposals to rebuild a financial and
corporate governance system more oriented towards sustainability. They are presented in thematic sections devoted to financial capitalism and corporate social responsibility, socially
responsible investing, sustainable finance, and financial choice and risk management in a complex world. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc.,
