The most recent conversations about financial instability in
International Political Economy have addressed the ongoing
financial spasms of the past five years; a global financial spasm
unleashed by the 2008 subprime debacle, ongoing Eurozone
instability, and general price volatility in securities markets
globally. Alongside and as part of these broader spasms, however,
has been another key trend-the intensifying reach of global
financial markets into and among those populations which live at
its very edges. There are increasing, and increasingly profitable,
experiments which are explicitly targeted to those without regular
access to full or formalized financial practices. This book places
the practices of fringe finance in critical context by situating
them within a larger set of discussions in the field. Most
importantly, this book is part of a much broader attempt in IPE to
rethread the study of finance to questions of cultural and social
theory in a meaningful manner. Finance is increasingly subjected to
innovative forms of social inquiry influenced by a range of diverse
methods including governmentality, actor-network theory and
cultural economy. By drawing on several strands of social theory,
this book contributes to this broader movement in IPE and helps
open more space for the continuation of these interdisciplinary
conversations. This work will be of great interest to students and
scholars of IPE, development studies and economic sociology.
