Dimitris P. Sotiropoulos, Senior Lecturer in Finance, the Open University Business School, UK.
I am a Senior Lecturer at the Open University Business School with research interests in the relationship between political economy, economic history, and the history of economic ideas.
My recent research looks into the history of financial innovation. It adds to the understanding of the financialiation of capitalist societies approaching finance as a social and historical process. The main insight of my work draws upon critical political economy and the French radical philosophical tradition of the 1960s and 1970s.
I am director of the research cluster on the HistorY and Political Economy (HYPE) of Business and Finance and co-leader of the Open Political Economy Group (OPEG) at the Open University.
