THE SOVEREIGNTY OF CREDIT
The Making and Unmaking of the Financial ConstitutionBy Dr. Bichara Sahely
Length3h 55m
About this audiobook
Who governs the future? In The Sovereignty of Credit, Dr. Bichara Sahely reveals the hidden financial constitution beneath formal politics: the laws, institutions, markets and infrastructures that decide which futures become fundable, enforceable and real. Tracing the evolution of credit from merchant finance and public debt to central banking, financialization, digital money and artificial intelligence, the book identifies a Great Financial Inversion in which financial claims are protected more reliably than the human, productive and ecological capacities that sustain them. Using the Caribbean and small-island condition as a powerful diagnostic lens, Sahely develops a constructive alternative: credit as delegated public power, governed by democratic accountability, plural banking, debt justice, life-stability and digital public money as a civil commons. This listener edition presents the central argument in a clear, spoken format designed for sustained reflection.
