The vanishing banker1

Marc Flandreau

Financial History Review, 2012, vol. 19, issue 1, 1-19

Abstract: This article explores the relation between financial crises and economic discourse, focusing on the record of foreign debt crises. I identify a curious migration of discourse across social groups. Discourse that was previously proffered by bankers is now part of the production of economic ‘science’. I argue that this migration can be interpreted as an attempt to manage ‘speech-liability’.
