Economic sociology has named finance’s social entanglements a major field

Evidence

Since the 1970s, dozens of important works in economic sociology have examined these entanglements; latterly in the bourgeoning field of social studies of finance. A cursory and far from exhaustive list includes cultural theorists Randy Martin and Max Haiven; anthropologists Arjun Appadurai, Laura Bear, Karen Ho, Edward LiPuma, Caitlin Zaloom; sociologists Jens Beckert, Christian Borch, Greta Krippner, Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra, Alex Preda, Sarah Quinn, and Viviana Zelizer; and philosophers Michel Feher, Joseph Vogl, and Franco Berardi. — Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou, Speculative Communities, 376
