Culture & Finance Capital The nature of contemporary capitalism has radically altered in the last forty years: financial activity dominates over production, speculative investment is commonplace, indebtedness is a globalising condition, austerity targets the most vulnerable. These developments have not only changed the economic system, they have produced a new culture with widening inequality reshaping the social landscape of education, housing and public space. In this programme we shall explore the intricacies of the phenomenon called 'financialisation': surveying the way the credit system relates to everyday life, and hearing how artists, curators and activists are confronting finance from within the site of culture.
