Abstract

Although finance traditionally has been the domain of economics, understanding the various forces shaping the performance of contemporary financial markets require the use of a variety of intellectual perspectives from across other disciplines. The present article attempts to discuss the contributions of ‘social studies of finance’ in studying and interpreting the modern financial markets and it’s widely spread effects. This becomes of immense importance when conventional economics failed to express the social content of economic relations, and consequently to interpret the forces and conflicts at work in the economic process.
