Special issue: Thesis Seminar for students of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and the Metropolitan Autonomous University (UAM) Guest editor: Within the framework of the XXIV Seminar on Monetary, Fiscal and Financial Economics (SEMECOFIN), on March 6, 2024, the Thesis Seminar was held for students at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and the Metropolitan Autonomous University (UAM) with the aim of the participating students presenting the progress of their individual research in financial economics, socializing knowledge, getting to know each other and, at the same time, receiving new feedback, contributing to the strengthening of their research processes. A total of seven graduate students participated. Their research focused on analyzing the unprecedented expansion of financial activities and the rapid growth of financial profits. They highlight the influence of financial relations on the economy and society and their predominance, as well as the rapid development of new financial instruments. These are contributions that account for a system driven by finance and its social effects, from family incomes to the struggle to keep the exploitation of energy resources under financial control, which influences the extraction processes and deepens the effects of exploitation of natural resources, prioritizing maximizing shareholder value. However, despite this status as financialized capital, there are other forms of financial intermediation that, based on their financial role, are key to territorial economic reorganization, allowing communities to decide the guidelines and strategies for association that would be beneficial in shaping their own destiny. In this way, www.olafinanciera.unam.mx presents the contributions that students contribute to the discussion on the complex scenario facing the challenges of dependency within the framework of new expressions of hegemony and financialized capitalism. We hope you enjoy reading it and that it also contributes to the training of critical researchers with a social commitment. |
