It's been about a decade since I looked hard in the literature. The
best marxian overview of the financial deepening issue probably comes
from Gary Dymski, right? or additionally, post-1980 studies by Robert
Pollin, Simon Clarke, Alain Lipietz, Gary Green, Paul Burkett? or
going to wider and more dated sources, Mandel, de Brunhoff, and of
course Grossmann...?

Ahem, in a Third World context, my own meagre contribution to the
marxian theory of finance and *uneven* development (a PhD thesis
under David Harvey) is in Uneven Zimbabwe: A Study of Finance,
Development and Underdevelopment (Trenton, Africa World Press, 1998);
I can forward, offlist, my theory chapter to the comrade if
desired...
