• Resumen

  • Sociology is looking for new theoretical and analytucal tools to study the financialization of the world economy and its social consequences. The article focuses on two much debated aspects: a) the traders activity, based on expert knowledge and high technology skills; b) the personal finance regarding how people manage money credits and debts interacting with fanancial intermediates. The aim is to disentagle the practices and the institutionalised processes regulating money exchanges: in this way it is possible to conceotualise the finance world as social system characterized by power differentials as effects of the financial capital circulation.
