Abstract

This chapter offers the investigatory strategy that elaborates the approaches and methods undertaken. A critical realist orientation as a philosophical stance was adopted to capture the complexities of finance capitalism and how it leads to rising economic inequality. A major advantage of this philosophical tradition is its ontological commitment and the perception of reality as an open system, in contrast to a closed system of the positivist school and neoclassical orthodoxy. The second section explains why neoclassical orthodoxy and mainstream economics’ mathematical-deductivist approach should be rejected as irrelevant to the study of social ontology. The chapter also describes analytical tools employed to explain the financialisation-income inequality nexus and its causal relations.
