“…I mean this by the following: while 20 years ago finance was taught primarily in business schools and in economics departments under the umbrella of financial economics, nowadays we see finance taught in mathematics and in physics departments as well, under the terms financial mathematics, computational finance, or econophysics. This, among others, has led to an institutional landscape where research and teaching on financial markets are located across schools of social and natural sciences, comprising, among others, financial economics, market microstructure, behavioral finance, and econophysics (see also Preda, 2017). Within each of these, we encounter distinct understandings of "noise," which sometimes are parallel to each other.…”

There has been an increasing interest in financial markets across sociology, history, anthropology, cultural studies, and related disciplines over the past decades, with particular intensity since the 2007-2008 crisis which prompted new analyses of the workings of financial markets and how "scandals of Wall Street" might have huge societal ramifications. The sociologically inclined landscape of finance studies is characterized by different more or less wellestablished homogeneous camps, with more micro-empirical, social studies of finance approaches on the one end of the spectrum and more theoretical, often neo-Marxist approaches, on the other.Yet alternative approaches are also gaining traction, including work that emphasizes the cultural homologies and interconnections with finance as well as work that, more broadly, is both empirically rigorous and theoretically ambitious. Importantly, across these various approaches to finance, a growing body of literature is taking shape which engages finance in a critical manner.The term "critical finance studies" nonetheless remains largely unfocused and undefined. Against this backdrop, the key rationales of The Routledge Handbook of Critical Finance Studies are firstly to provide a coherent notion of this emergent field and secondly to demonstrate its analytical usefulness across a wide range of central aspects of contemporary finance.As such, the volume will offer a comprehensive guide to students and academics on the field of Finance and Critical Finance Studies, Heterodox Economics, Accounting, and related Management disciplines.
