Financial geographies and economics: Friends or foes?

View Full Paper
AGAlbina Gibadullina

Key Points

  • The commentary explores the relationship between financial geographies and heterodox economics, asking how they should engage with each other.
  • Engagement with heterodox economic studies is encouraged.
  • Power analyses are emphasized as central to understanding financial geographies.
  • Financial policies and regulations are influenced by ideological projects.
  • Increased scholarly engagement is necessary for evolving financial geographies.

Abstract

The question of how financial geographers should be engaging with economics proper (if at all) is at the heart of Wójcik and Bratton's thought-provoking article. In this commentary, I argue for increased scholarly engagement with the archipelago of heterodox economic studies and for examining financial economics as an increasingly important ideological project that actively shapes modern-day financial policies and regulations. I further suggest that analyses of power should continue to lie at the heart of financial geographies.
