{"product_id":"the-making-of-finance-perspectives-from-the-social-sciences-9781138498570","title":"The Making of Finance: Perspectives from the Social Sciences","description":"Using a variety of theoretical frameworks drawn from the social sciences, the contributions in this edited collection offer a critical perspective on the dominant paradigms used in contemporary financial activities. Through a detailed study of the organisation and functioning of financial intermediaries and institutions, the contributors to this volume analyse 'finance in the making', by shedding light on the structuring of banking and financial systems, on their capacity to prescribe action and control, on their modes of regulation and, more generally, on the process of financialisation. \u003cp\u003eContributions presented in this volume have been written by authors working within the 'social studies of finance' tradition, a research programme that emerged twenty years ago, with the aim of addressing a diversity of financial fieldworks and related theoretical questions. This book, therefore, sheds light on different areas that are representative of contemporary financial realities. Specifically, it first studies the work of financial employees: traders, salespeople, investment managers, financial analysts, investment consultants, etc. but also provides an analysis of a range of financial instruments: financial schemes and contracts, financial derivatives, socially responsible investment funds, as well as market rules and regulations. Finally, it puts into perspective the organisations contributing to this financial reality: those developing and selling financial services (retail banks, brokerage houses, asset management firms, private equity firms, etc.), and also those contributing to the regulation of such activities (banking regulators, financial market authorities, credit rating agencies, the State, to name a few). \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach text can be read without any specific knowledge of finance; the book is thus addressed to anyone willing to better understand the intricacies of contemporary financial realities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabelle Chambost\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.80w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138498570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIsabelle Chambost\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in Management at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarc Lenglet\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at NEOMA Business School, Rouen, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYamina Tadjeddine\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Economics at the Université de Lorraine, Nancy, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43950428618867,"sku":"9.78114E+12","price":56.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_691c4283-1e4e-490d-9d17-05ba46edf10d.jpg?v=1759405699","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-making-of-finance-perspectives-from-the-social-sciences-9781138498570","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
