Finance and Society promotes the analysis of finance as a set of powerful institutions and widely diffused logics of organisation, valuation, and distribution in our societies. The journal offers a unique cross-disciplinary platform, publishing research in which the socio-political character of finance and the society-wide implications of financialisation take precedence.
Finance and Society is a gold open access journal. It aims to foster dialogue between established and emerging perspectives on finance and society, forging synergies between ongoing research in fields such as political economy, heterodox economics, sociology, law, cultural economy, history of economics, geography, organisational studies, and the humanities. Submissions are encouraged on the broad themes of money, debt, and finance, in connection with historical or contemporary aspects of technology, governance, and more. The editors also welcome submissions on the transformation of capitalism through financialisation, and the implications of this process for democratic institutions, patterns of distribution, and the sustainability of our economies.
Finance and Society publishes three issues per year, combining full-length research articles with a range of other formats intended to focus attention on cutting-edge themes and debates in the field of cross-disciplinary finance studies. These include: essays that advance innovative new arguments; articles that put specific policy issues into focus; review articles that take the measure of recent trends in the literature; and agenda-setting forums that bring different perspectives to bear on emerging developments in finance, society, and the study thereof. The journal also publishes book reviews. Special issues are published in which a theme is explored through the full range of these formats.
Finance and Society is published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Finance and Society Network.
