When finance extends its reach, so does the SSCF. It can make you think this edited volume is about how finance affects work and the workplace, or about how finance professionals work, or about the concrete effects of finance as a driving force. The idea is that finance embodies a domination of actors who finance (investors) over actors who are financed (investees), with some actors being on both sides. The difference the editor makes between finance seen "as an abstract and disembodied intermediary mechanism" and finance seen by social sciences corresponds to the division between financial economics and what I called SSCF.
