The current global financial crisis has raised awareness of the
impact the world of finance has on the economy and the future of
democracy. Following the crisis, this book aims at a deep
understanding of the human psycho-social dynamics beneath the
surface of the financial industry, its markets and institutions. It
seeks to understand why the seemingly rational world of economic
behavior, with its calculated models and predictions, at times goes
horribly wrong. This book uses the discipline of socio-analysis to
explore the meaning of money, markets and the broad financial world
that so strongly affects our daily lives. Socio-analysis
contributes to an awareness and understanding of underlying
unconscious desires, fantasies and illusions that bring about the
irrational inflation of faith and trust in the world of money,
finance and capital(ism). The insight that the financial crisis
'was essentially psychological in origin' (Robert Shiller) and that
the world of finance is broadly shaped if not determined by
irrational often unconscious factors is not yet broadly shared.
This book appears to be one of the first, if not the first
contribution that explicitly focuses on what is beneath the surface
of money, finance and capital. It invites the reader to explore the
financial world in depth. The aim of this book is to provide
businesses, organizational consultants, students, researchers and
interested persons more broadly with a detailed exploration of the
psycho-social dynamics of the financial industry as it exists
currently within the capitalist system. The contributors to this
book come from Australia, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary,
Sweden, The Netherlands, UK, and USA.
