Resumen

La financiarización es un proceso de cambio estructural e incompleto en las economías contemporáneas. El crecimiento del sistema financiero en las últimas décadas ha estado acompañado por una relación cada vez más compleja entre los actores socioeconómicos y los mercados financieros. En este artículo analizamos las causas y consecuencias de la financiarización con respecto a: la erosión de la relación capital-trabajo; el aumento de la desigualdad del ingreso laboral; y la comercialización de la vida cotidiana y los derechos sociales. Revisamos las principales conceptualizaciones de la financiarización en varios sitios de investigación correspondientes a los principales actores económicos, es decir: corporaciones no financieras; el estado y los individuos; y su compleja relación con los mercados financieros. Nuestro objetivo principal es evaluar las contribuciones y limitaciones de los estudios de financiarización en estos espacios de investigación.
