Financialisation has pervasive effects on our societies, and the EU-funded FESSUD project seeks to analyse and understand those effects: it probes the interrelationship of financialisation and financial crisis and to develop policy agendas to make finance better serve economic, social and environmental needs.

At ‘Financialisation, Economy, Society and Sustainable Development : a research perspective’ (27th September), FESSUD researchers present and debate their research findings on many dimensions of financialisation. Understanding finance and financialisation, causes and consequences of the financial crisis, financialisation and environmental sustainability, de-financialising social well-being and macroeconomic lessons for EU are amongst the dimensions being covered.
