Resocializing capital : putting pension savings in the service of "Financial Pluralism"? - London : Sage Publications, June 2006

Since the late 1980s, social scientists have argued that advanced economies have undergone a process of financial concentration that is resulting in a growing unevenness of the accessibility of capital. Households, small and medium-sized businesses as well as non-standard economic activities have increasing difficulties in finding funds. There are both sound economic and compelling moral reasons to address this issue. In order to ensure a more equal accessibility of capital, the author proposes a mandatory levy on the surpluses of mainstream pension funds to fund an alternative financial infrastructure as a first step to redressing unevenness. The underlying rationale is that "financial pluralism" is the key to a more even accessibility of capital
