Financial geographies and economics: Friends or foes?

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.

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.
