Social science theorists from various scholarly disciplines have
contributed to a recent literature that examines how the finance
industry has expanded and now wields increasing influence across a
variety of economic fields and industries. In some cases, this
tendency towards a more sizeable and influential finance industry
has been referred to as "the financialization" of the economy. This
book explains how what is referred to as the finance-led economy
(arguably a more neutral and less emotionally charged term than
financialization) is premised on a number of conditions,
institutional relations, and theoretical propositions and
assumptions, and indicates what the real economic consequences are
for market actors and households. The book provides a theoretically
condensed but empirically grounded account of the contemporary
finance-led economy, in many cases too complicated in its design
and rich in detail to be understood equally by insiders-empirical
research indicates-and lay audiences. It summarizes the relevant
literature and points at two empirical cases, the construction
industry and life science venturing, to better illustrate how the
expansion of the finance industry has contributed to the capital
formation process, and how the sovereign state has actively
assisted this process. It offers a credible, yet accessible
overview of the economic conditions that will arguably shape
economic affairs for the foreseeable future. The book will find an
audience amongst a variety of readers, including graduate students,
management scholars, policymakers, and management consultants.
