abstract: 'The transition to a financialized economy has had a devastating impact
|
|
|
|
on workers and consumers and exacerbated wealth and income inequality in
|
|
|
|
the United States and around the world. In this article, the authors
|
|
|
|
explain financialization, a two-fold economic strategy whereby
|
|
|
|
individual corporations invest in the financial market- rather than make
|
|
|
|
capital improvements- to earn a profit and global and domestic economies
|
|
|
|
heavily invest in and depend upon financial, insurance, and real estate
|
|
|
|
(FIRE) ventures. If the social work profession is to meet its obligation
|
|
|
|
to promote social and economic justice, practitioners and students must
|
|
|
|
understand this economic strategy and its consequences. The social work
|
|
|
|
education, practice, and policy literature elaborates upon the role that
|
|
|
|
practitioners can play in helping clients achieve financial literacy.
|
|
|
|
This reflects a largely micro approach to the problems created and
|
|
|
|
maintained by financialization. Macro interventions are required,
|
|
|
|
however, since financialization is indicative of and exacerbates
|
|
|
|
systemic economic inequality. Therefore, the authors identify suggested
|
|
|
|
content for the generalist and foundation practice, policy, field, and
|
|
|
|
continuing education curricula that identifies the knowledge and skills
|
|
|
|
needed to help clients with their financial difficulties and challenges
|
|
|
|
the underlying economic forces that contributed to them.'
