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 OCywas essentially
psychological in originOCO (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."
