Financialization means that profits are mainly sought in the arena of financial speculation, not production. Finance has become increasingly important for individuals, companies and states people all over the world engage with it every day.This class will systemically analyze the role of finance in capitalism and historical transformations from a global perspective. It will introduce students to different theories of financialization in the context of global capitalist transformation. Students will learn various political-economic and economic-sociological perspectives about the global diffusion of financialization, but also cultural perspectives about 'doing finance' and the cultural implications of debt.
