社会学视角下的金融研究:发展脉络与主要议题

Financial Research from the Perspective of Sociology:Development History and Major Topics

金融社会学近年来成为一个迅速发展的领域,在一定程度上反映了20世纪80年代以来西方发达资本主义国家金融化不断加深及金融资本主义日益崛起的历史进程。金融化并不限于经济领域,而是一个向政治、经济、社会和文化领域全面扩张的过程,导致整个社会生活出现金融化趋势,并影响了哲学社会科学的研究议题和取向,也为金融社会学的兴起提供了强大经验基础和理论依据。本文追溯、分析金融社会学产生、发展的经验基础和历史脉络,梳理、总结金融社会学在理论和经验研究方面取得的成就和进展,并结合中国独特的金融体制、丰富的金融实践提出了未来值得关注的重点方向和主要议题。

Sociological research on financial phenomena(the sociology of finance)has become a rapidly developing field since the 1980 s,which reflects the historical process of deepening financialization and rising financial capitalism in Western capitalist countries since the 1980 s.The influence of financialization is not limited to the economic field,but a process of full-scale expansion to politics,economy,society and culture,which leads to the trend of financialization in the entire social life,shaping the research topics and orientation of philosophy and social sciences,and providing a strong empirical foundation and theoretical basis for the rise of the sociology of finance.This paper traces and analyzes the empirical foundation and historical context of the emergence and development of sociology of finance,sorts out and summarizes the achievements and progress of sociology of finance accumulated in the theoretical and empirical research,and proposes key directions and major topics that need to be further studied in the future based on China’s unique financial system and rich financial practices.
