----------------------------------------------------------------- Economic Geography Virtual Issue on Financialization
Economic Geography inaugurates its first virtual issue with a theme on financialization. The significance of financialization in the post-crisis era in particular demands a re-examination of existing frameworks that govern the finance sector in various parts of the world. Economic geographers analyze how the global and the local economies intersect under financialization. This collection of papers represents a variety of treatment on financialization, from ones that focus on stock markets, pension fund, infrastructure, and to those that engages with household responses.
