Financialized capitalism is “a pattern of accumulation in which profits accrue primarily through financial channels rather than through trade and commodity production,” according to Greta R. Krippner.

In this episode of OP Talks, liberation theologians Dr. Jung Mo Sung and Dr. Filipe Maia discuss his recent book Trading Futures: A Theological Critique of Financialized Capitalism (Duke University Press, 2022). Dr. Maia offers a theological reflection on hope and the future, calling for escape routes from the debt economy.
