The problematics of financialization: Critical reflections

Author

  • Haslam, Jim

Abstract

Andersson et al. (this issue) add to developing literature on financialization in reflecting on the bio-pharma industry. Their theorising is both an account of a process of financialization and a problematisation with a substantive resonance. The concern here is to contribute to a critical appreciation of the problematics of financialization through reflecting upon the developing thesis as indicated in the Andersson et al.’s study.
