What the paper says

This third progress report on financial geography focuses on the everyday lives of finance. Moving beyond firm- and state-centric analyses, research increasingly foregrounds how financialisation permeates households, care relations and daily practices through variegated financial subjectivities, debt-based survival strategies and digital intermediation. Drawing on feminist political economy and critical approaches, the report highlights intersections of finance with social reproduction, gendered and racialised inequalities and the rise of fintech as a transformative yet potentially exploitative force. It concludes by identifying gaps in research on age and on state-technology relations, calling for intersectional, multi-scalar perspectives on finance’s lived and affective dimensions.
