Financialization has become the go-to term for scholars grappling with the growth of finance. This
Handbook offers the first comprehensive survey of the scholarship on financialization, connecting finance
with changes in politics, technology, culture, society and the economy.
It takes stock of the diverse avenues of research that comprise financialization studies and the contributions
they have made to understanding the changes in contemporary societies driven by the rise of
finance. The chapters chart the field’s evolution from research describing and critiquing the manifestations
of financialization towards scholarship that pinpoints the driving forces, mechanisms and
boundaries of financialization.
Written for researchers and students not only in economics but from across the social sciences and the
humanities, this book offers a decidedly global and pluri-disciplinary view on financialization for those
who are looking to understand the changing face of finance and its consequences.
