Abstract
The paper argues that capital adequacy regulation has served to recreate the neoliberal form of capitalist social relations. It identifies two dimensions to this process. First, the paper argues that financialization has become increasingly important for securing political legitimacy in several states, and that capital adequacy regulation in historical perspective can be understood to have incentivized, facilitated, and legitimated the kind of arbitrage that allow it to proceed. Second, it argues that in the contemporary context, revisions to capital adequacy requirements serve to discipline mutual and co-operative forms of finance by encouraging them to engage more explicitly in profit-seeking, introducing a homogenizing dynamic into the financial sector despite regulators’ belief that systemic diversity is a key feature of promoting stability
