Households and Financialization in Europe develops a processual,
relational and critical transdisciplinary approach to household
financialization in Europe, utilizing a range of national and local
case studies. It does so by drawing on debates in Marxist, feminist
and radical IPE, anthropology and other fields. The book explores
the household as simultaneously a micro-level social institution
specializing in social reproduction, distribution and other
activities; a building bloc of larger economic and social
structures; and an object of multiple systems of power/knowledge.
Putting this conceptualization to use in original research, the
authors identify geographically and historically situated ways in
which financialization transforms households and their
relationships with the wider economy and society. The book traces
these transformations in case studies of variegated
financialization in Eastern and Southern European (semi-)
peripheries where households have faced particularly severe
financial issues since the global financial crisis, such as
over-indebtedness and asset devaluation. Key themes recurring
throughout the book include: the key role of housing in household
financialization, the co-constitutive relationship between
financialization and social and spatial inequalities, specific
patterns in the relations of financial actors and households in
semi-peripheries, and the implications of semi-peripheral forms of
real and financial accumulation for household financialization.
With its transdisciplinary approach, this book will be of great
interest to students and scholars of finance, financialization,
household economics, international and global political economy,
uneven development, economic anthropology, and economic sociology.
