Financialization Thesis, Contemporary Capitalism, FinancializationAbstract
The Financialization Thesis has stood out as one of the main explanations of the characteristics that the capital accumulation process assumes in its current stage. Although we find a series of postulates that give unity to this thesis approach, the interpretations on the historical origin of the process of financialization of the economy present important differences according to the perspective adopted. The objective of this work is to analyze and classify the assumptions and arguments present in the historical explanations around the so-called process of financialization of the economy, in order to propose a series of theoretical-methodological criteria in order to strengthen the explanations around contemporary capitalism.
