Financialization At Work : Key Texts and Commentary Paperback / softback
Edited by Ismail (Manchester Business School, UK) Erturk, Julie Froud, Sukhdev Johal, Adam Leaver, Karel Williams
Paperback / softback
Description
Crisis with US sub-prime mortgages, paralysis in global credit markets and the run on Northern Rock all wake-up calls to the growing influence of finance and financial markets on the lives of ordinary people.
Social scientists began debating financialization in the late 2000s much as they debated globalizsation in the 1990s, and this important book prepares the way by allowing readers to (re)define financialization for themselves. The articles are grouped by discourse, covering not only inter-war liberal collectivism and current cultural economy, but also the agency theory of mainstream finance and political economy of various kinds.
Helpful commentaries introduce each individual reading while section introductions analyze the assumptions, core propositions, achievements and limits in each distinct literature. This book will challenge readers to bring a new understanding to the financialization of present day capitalism.
It is an invaluable resource for students and researchers from business and management, plus all the social sciences with interests in political and cultural economy.
