对关于什么是金融化，生活在一个（日益）金融化的世界意味着什么，以及我们作为学者和政策制定者如何应对围绕金融化，金融地理和相关过程的各种辩论的辩论做出了巨大贡献。在学术界，金融化是一个备受争议的术语，支持者展示了其适用性的广度和理解当前资本主义形式的可能性。与此同时，它也因其冗长和缺乏活力的工作而受到批评，这些工作将这个想法作为一个松散的，相对欠定义的框架（Christophers，2012）。这本手册含蓄地涉入这场辩论，提供了一种驾驭这些紧张局势的方法，为那些利用空间，但努力如何准确地了解它的应用，一种理解杂色的方法，该术语的多种方式，同时注意到需要精确地定义我们在使用该术语时的意思，以及如何赠款更详细的分析和理论化。这本手册为那些希望思考这些辩论的人提供了一个切入点（在区域研究，规划和经济地理学中，目前很少有期刊没有一篇论文思考金融化的一些想法），这本书是一个至关重要的贡献。在《区域研究》中，有一期特刊谈到了金融化在理解城市发展、区域经济、社会经济问题和政策制定方面的重要性（Halbert等人，2014）。在此之前的工作基础上，本手册中显而易见的是，在努力解决辩论如何出现方面付出了巨大努力：包括学科的广度，作者的范围，地理位置，以及所涵盖的社会和经济方面，以及试图解决金融化研究中一些最激烈的争论。本手册分为六个部分，第40章的主要思想家提出了简短的论点，通常借鉴了他们最近的实证工作，这些工作涉及到更广泛的金融化辩论。在第一部分“金融和金融化：盘点”中，六位作者在五章中讨论了当前的争论。对于克里斯托弗和法恩来说，这是一个讨论金融化作为一个概念的价值问题的机会，实际上，它与（他们和其他人的）价值工作有何关系。Deutschmann和Erturk都谈到了金融化的企业层面;而Dow则呼吁关注
makes a monumental contribution to debates on what financialization is, what it means to live in an (increasingly) financialized world, and how we, as academics and policymakers, might grapple with the various debates surrounding financialization, financial geography and associated processes. In academia, financialization is a heavily debated term, with advocates demonstrating the breadth of its applicability and the possibilities held within it to understand the current form of capitalism. At the same time, it has been critiqued for its vagueness and for the anaemic work employing the idea as a loose, relatively under-defined framework (Christophers, 2012). Implicitly wading into this debate, the handbook offers a means to navigate these tensions, allowing space for those utilizing, but struggling with how to be precise about, its application, a means of understanding the variegation, the multiple ways the term has and can be applied–whilst attending to the need to precisely define what we mean when we use the term, and how that grants a more detailed analysis and therefore theorization. The handbook’s capacity to offer an entry point for those looking to think about these debates (and in regional studies, planning and economic geography there is rarely a journal issue at the moment without a paper thinking through some of the ideas of financialization), this book is a vital contribution. In Regional Studies, a special issue spoke about the importance of financialization in understanding urban development, regional economics, socio-economic issues and policy development (Halbert et al., 2014). Building on the body of work that precedes it, what is starkly evident in this handbook is the huge effort that went into grappling with how debates are emerging: the breadth of disciplines included, the range of authors, geographies, and aspects of society and the economy covered, and the attempt to grapple with some of the most heated debates in research on financialization.The handbook is broken into six sections and each of the 40 chapters’ key thinkers present short arguments, often drawing on their recent empirical work, that speak to the broader debates of financialization. In the first section,‘Finance and Financialization: Taking Stock’, six authors over five chapters discuss where current debates are. For Christophers and Fine, there is an opportunity to discuss the question of the value of financialization as a concept–and indeed how it relates to (theirs and other’s) work on value. Both Deutschmann and Erturk speak to the corporate dimensions of financialization; whilst Dow calls attention to
