Abstract:
|
The paper addresses deliberative cosmopolitan arguments regarding the reform of global finance. It is argued that the key signifier of global civil society is left under theorised. A case study of the civil society campaign for the Tobin Tax is developed which focuses on the ethical possibilities, contradictions and limits of the proposal. A problematic financial universalism and a cash-based conception of global justice render the Tobin Tax more ambiguous than many proponents would accept. However, by developing a pragmatic and praxeological response the campaign is celebrated for its ability to broaden the scope and content of democratic conversation. Both the sentimental aspects of global finance and the constitutive limits are engaged, thus making alternatives thinkable. |
