Robert Guttman's "How Credit-Money Shapes the Economy" if you can find
it is an excellent, thick but easily readible book on the complex
interaction between finance, ficticious and industrial capital that
shapes our present. Its one of the few books I've seen in english that
comprehensively deals with the topic in a non-glossing-over kinda way
(maybe there are many others but here I've no access to them). Not
sure but I think maybe he was a student of either Aglietta, Boyer or
Lipietz or one of those guys. May not be exactly what you were looking
for but it gives a comprehensive theoretical structuring of the issue
of credit and financial capital and how they come to play such an all
important role in the lives of workers, capitalists and states alike.

Found this link to a talk he did in 95:
