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.
