Beskrivning
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.The Introduction of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY 4.0 license.

Recensioner i media

"[Households and Financialization in Europe] opens a new way of thinking and widens our knowledge about semi-core and semi-peripheral financialisation. It enriches the theoretical understandings of processes of financialisation from a household perspective, providing rich cases to serve as empirical base for further theoretical development. The reader is constantly challenged to expand the categories of 'family’, 'household', family ties', social network’, confronting the wide empirical variety coming from the semi-peripheral countries studied. The methods used inspire all readers to understand the logic of a set of different disciplines (sociology, anthropology, geography etc.) and offer a good example of multidisciplinary research under a common theoretical agenda."Gabor Nagy, Research Centre for Economic and Regional Studies Budapest, Hungary, writing in the International Journal of Housing Policy, 22.1, 2022
