Providing an in-depth case study on the emergence of social impact
investing in the UK, this book develops a new perspective on
financialization processes that highlights the roles of
non-financial actors. In contrast to the common view that impact
investing gears finance toward the solution of social problems, the
author analyzes how these investments create new problems and
inequalities. To explain how social impact investing became popular
in British social policy despite its unclear effectiveness, the
author focuses on cooperative relations between institutional
entrepreneurs from finance and various non-financial actors.
Drawing on field theory, he shows how seemingly unrelated social
transformations - such as HM Treasury's expanding role in public
service reform - may act as resonance spaces for the spread of
finance. Opening up a new perspective on financialization processes
in the terrain of public policy, this book invites readers to
refocus scholarship on capitalist dynamics to the meso-level. Based
on this analysis, the author also proposes ways to transform social
impact investing to increase its potential for reducing global
inequalities.
