An article by Dr Andrew Brown and Professor David Spencer (LUBS) features the Financialisation, Economy Society and Sustainable Development (FESSUD) project, a €10m international research consortium led by the University of Leeds.
“Six years since it erupted, the global financial crisis still casts a long shadow over Europe. The need to understand how to make finance serve our economic, social and environmental needs has never been so important.
(FESSUD) project, a €10m international research consortium led by the University of Leeds, aims to do this. Funded by the European Commission, we are working with 13 other leading universities and organisations from across Europe, the US, and South Africa to analyse the processes of ‘financialisation’ – the increasing dominance of finance, financial activities, and financial interests over other parts of the economy and society. ”
