The Double Life of the Family: Myth, Hope & Experience
The modern family is under strain. What we crave most from our families is intimacy, warmth and self-fulfilment but we often find this difficult to achieve. We hold onto these expectations of our families even in the face of contradictory experiences, so the family sustains a double life. The authors explore the gap between our values, expectations and yearnings, and our experiences of everyday family life. Family ritual, political rhetoric, adve…
Emotions in International Politics: Beyond Mainstream International Relations
In recent years, social scientists have increasingly recognized the interconnectedness of thought on emotions. Nowhere is the role of passions more evident than international politics, where pride, anger, guilt, fear, empathy, and other feelings are routinely on display. But in the absence of an overarching theory of emotions, how can we understand their role at the international level? Emotions in International Politics fills the need for theore…

Uncertainty: The Curate's egg in financial economics
Economic theories of uncertainty are unpopular with financial experts. As sociologists, we rightly refuse predictions, but the uncertainties of money are constantly sifted and turned into semi-denial by a financial economics set on somehow beating the future. Picking out 'bits' of the future as 'risk' and 'parts' as 'information' is attractive but socially dangerous, I argue, because money's promises are always uncertain. New studies of uncertain…

Financial Crises and the Nature of Capitalist Money: Mutual Developments from the Work of Geoffrey Ingham
Emotions and Economy
Emotions drive economy in many directions. This driving force and power of our collective but wildly diverse sentiments is mostly because the future cannot be known in advance. If I said this about democratic politics where uncertainty is usually taken for granted, no one would blink. Reason can guide emotional responses toward feelings of anxiety, hope, or caution, although everyday conjectures are quite a pastime. We have a love–hate relationsh…

Decency in Anglo-American Financial Centres
How can a partial, revisable utopia of 'decent society' be used as a yardstick for assessing today's impersonal forms of social integration? In economic life - this essay's focus - Polanyi's hopes that the 'economic system' might cease 'to lay down the law to society' is a start. Recently, financial firms sold commodified promises and obligations on the allure of democratizing credit and providing financial 'choice' to millions. Yet these 'civili…

Emotions and Economy
Emotions and economy, according to orthodoxy, are as far apart as passions from rationality. Some classical sociologists removed emotion categories from modernity; for others, emotions are significant (Durkheim and Simmel), uniform “residues,” sentiments (Pareto), or ambiguously traditional (Weber). Economics, with honorable exceptions (like Adam Smith), associates emotions with irrationality. Economy is the home of instrumental rational action. …
What If the Leader of the Central Bank Told Hilarious Jokes and Did Card Tricks? A Panel of Experts
A panel of distinguished experts discuss the linkages (if any) between monetary policy and the personality of the nation's central banker. Why is the personality of a central banker important to monetary stability and financial leadership? What follows is a written edited version of the short papers that were presented at this panel. The panel was held in Olin Auditorium on Tuesday, April 25, 2006, as part of the Carpenter Lecture Series at Babso…
Equality and gender, divided versus multiple subjectivity: A response to Allon J. Uhlmann's ‘The sociology of subjectivity, and the subjectivity of sociologists’
Finance organizations, decisions and emotions
Analyses of global financial markets are dominated by atomized models of decision-making and behavioural psychology ('exuberance' or 'panic'). In contrast, this paper argues that overwhelmingly, finance organizations rather than 'individuals' make decisions, and routinely use emotions in formulating expectations. Keynes introduced emotion (business confidence and animal spirits) but in economics, emotion remains individualistic and irrational. Lu…
Emotions and Economics
This chapter examines approaches to emotions in orthodox and various Keynesian-influenced economics, with regard to 'interest' and expectations, and compares it to sociological emotions research. First it shows how economics ignores 'passions' like greed or avarice by transmuting them to the allegedly more predictable, less emotional and completely 'rational' motives of interests. Interest, in contemporary orthodox accounts, is said basically to …
Beyond Twin Deficits: Emotions of the Future in the Organizations of Money
This paper outlines new developments in the sociology of money. It highlights certain aspects of Post Keynesian monetarism and explores Keynesian concepts of emotions relative to economics and economic sociology. Gunnar Myrdal's work on time and money contributes to the discussion. Underdeveloped areas of discourse in both sociology and economics are identified and the resulting superficiality of references to money are examined. Sociology, for e…
Impersonal Trust in Global Mediating Organizations
The concept of impersonal trust in indirect social relationships is often treated as analogous to the personal trust of direct interpersonal relationships (whether 'primary' or 'secondary'). Studies in economic sociology of personal networks and overlapping trust relations among directors of major corporations, however, regard trust (or mistrust) as more exclusively a 'property' of direct relationships. Personal trust relations, this study argues…
