Financialization, as a book category, covers works that explore the expanding power and reach of finance—its markets, institutions, logics, and instruments—across the economy, government, corporations, and everyday life. Books in this genre trace the historical rise of financial actors (from banks and asset managers to private equity and hedge funds), unpack mechanisms like securitization, derivatives, leverage, and shareholder-value governance, and examine how these reshape corporate strategy, labor, housing, pensions, healthcare, education, and global development. The category spans scholarly and journalistic titles, theory and case studies, critiques and defenses, addressing themes such as inequality and debt, crises and regulation, “rentier” dynamics and assetization, as well as innovation, fintech, and policy reform. At its core, it investigates the causes, tools, and consequences of finance’s ascendancy and the debates over how to govern it.
