Description
The roundtable aims to interrogate and advance scholarship on finance as the lifeblood of racial capitalism. The participants will provide theoretical, methodological, and empirical re-conceptions of the relationship between finance and race, re-orienting the field of International Political Economy (IPE) to cutting edge and new directions which address the most pressing issues relevant to the discipline today. The roundtable will debate the extent to which racial capitalism is inseparable from financial power, and how a focus on the latter can help us better understand the ways in which race and capital are entangled and shape each other. Reciprocally, studying race/capital can also yield fresh insight in the IPE of finance.
