Brexit and the election of Trump have shattered some of the routines citizens in Europe and the USA have grown accustomed to. Protectionism and nationalism are real policy options again, regional integration and the creation of trade blocks have lost esteem. What has remained the same, though, is the emphasis placed on the well-being of the financial sector both in the UK and the US. Finance capitalism is alive and well. This resilience of global finance capitalism is at the heart of our proposed network. To understand this resilience we seek to assess the fundamental role of money within the overall infrastructure of global capitalism. Engaging with recent advances in money theory and financial economics we aim to establish the study of money, which is the backbone of the global capitalist political economy, as an essential part of political science. Capitalist money is a public-private partnership between the state, banks and the people. There is constant struggle over what counts as money at all, how much of it there shall be and at what price. The backbone and structural condition of the interaction between capitalist nation states businesses and individuals is thus constantly shaped and re-created by specific actors. In six workshops we will zoom in on the intricacies of theses struggles and their implications by asking these questions: What is money and how is it created? How do key actors and institutions partake in the production of money? How are hierarchies in global and national monetary relations created and maintained? How does money matter for national and global wealth inequality? By bringing together an international group of economists, sociologists and political scientists working on money, credit, banking, and the theory of capitalism more broadly, the network aims to develop a clearer and more fine-grained understanding of what explains the resilience of finance capitalism and what role money plays in this.

英国脱欧和特朗普的选举破坏了欧洲和美国的一些常规公民已经习惯了。贸易保护主义和民族主义再次是真正的政策选择，区域融合和贸易块的建立失去了尊敬。但是，保持不变的是，重点放在英国和美国金融部门的福祉上。金融资本主义还活着。全球金融资本主义的这种韧性是我们提议的网络的核心。为了了解这种韧性，我们试图评估货币在全球资本主义的整体基础设施中的基本作用。在货币理论和金融经济学方面的最新进展中，我们旨在建立货币研究，这是全球资本主义政治经济学的骨干，是政治学的重要组成部分。资本主义资金是国家，银行和人民之间的公私伙伴关系。在完全算作金钱的东西上一直存在斗争，其中有多少，价格是多少。因此，资本主义民族国家与个人之间相互作用的骨干和结构条件是由特定参与者不断地塑造和重新创造的。在六个研讨会中，我们将通过提出以下问题来缩小这些问题的复杂性及其含义：什么是金钱，如何创造？关键参与者和机构如何参与货币的生产？全球和国家货币关系的层次结构如何建立和维持？资金对国家和全球财富不平等至关重要？通过将一组国际经济学家，社会学家和政治科学家汇集在一起​​，从事货币，信贷，银行业和资本主义理论的工作，该网络旨在建立更清晰，更细腻的了解，以了解如何解释金融资本主义的韧性以及金钱在这方面发挥什么作用。
