Finance and Space

Finance & Space is a pioneering interdisciplinary journal based on the belief that we need to change the way we look at finance. Finance is typically seen as a technical and arcane subject best left to economic experts and finance professionals; such a narrow technocratic view has been damaging to society and the environment.

At Finance & Space we see finance as a broader system of human-environment relationships, in which people interact with and experience each other and their environment and create systems of value through the medium of money. To understand finance broadly defined, geography along with other social sciences and humanities are essential, in addition to economics. To advance research and debates on finance and contribute to a vision of finance in which people and the environment matter, Finance & Space publishes cutting-edge empirical and theoretical articles, but also topical commentaries by scholars and finance practitioners. In addition, to promote creative thinking about finance, we publish maps, graphs, artwork, and other images devoted to finance and space.
