The Social Foundations of Global Finance cover

Through the interrogation of the social foundations of global finance, Tim Sinclair revealed the power relations within the global political economy. His unique and pioneering perspective examines the role of private authority, the institutional complexities of global financial markets and ideational realm and intersubjective processes involved in constructing economic rectitude to offer a fresh perspective on the way global finance and its politics works. This volume brings together a group of scholars inspired by Sinclair’s work to critically engage, apply and further the social foundations approach to global finance.

Tim Sinclair was a trailblazer in the modern study of the politics and social foundations of global finance. This volume provides a beautiful reminder of the creative, multi-faceted, and eclectic nature of his ideas by advancing debates on many topics he encouraged us to analyse in his important work. It stands as a testament to the enduring value and legacies of the innovative Sinclairian approach to the subject. A triple-A rating!
