金融的社会研究:起源、发展与前沿研究

Social Studies of Finance:Origins,Evolution and Frontier

金融的社会研究(简称SSF)源于20世纪70年代中期的科学的社会研究,以述行性(performativity)为核心概念,兴起于20世纪90年代。金融社会学和金融人类学从不同学科视角对金融现象进行了研究,共同推进了金融的社会研究。凯恩斯主义、货币主义和新古典经济学均无法解释2008年全球金融危机的爆发。社会学家从述行性视角深入思考金融问题,对经济学进行釜底抽薪式的批判,也超越新经济社会学的嵌入性视角,对金融危机提出新的解释。如今,金融的社会研究已开始进入对量化交易、高频交易和加密货币等前沿金融问题的研究。

Social Studies of Finance(SSF)originated from 1970s’Social Studies of Science(SSS)and developed in 1990s with the proposed new concept of performativity.The sociology of finance and anthropology of finance examined the financial issues from different disciplinary perspectives and both pushed forwards the social studies of finance.Keynesianism,Monetarism and New Classical Economics all cannot explain why Global Financial Crisis of 2008 happened.More sociologists studied thoroughly the financial issues from perspective of performativity and the study of financial crisis became a very popular topic.Nowadays,social studies of finance have entered the frontier field of finance,such as quantitative trading,high frequency trading and cryptocurrency.
