Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course will provide the students with the possibility to deepen a sociological perspective, which critically assesses economic processes and institutions. It will broadly focus on issues of financialisation. We will engage deeply with the field of the social studies of finance, financialisation processes on a macro as well as micro-sociological levels, the role of finance in economic crises, and institutions of financial markets from a sociological perspective.
