Financial markets raise not only questions of economic efficiency, but also questions of justice - especially in highly 'financialized' societies such as ours. This volume brings together leading scholars from political theory, law, and economics in order to discuss the relationship between financial markets and justice. This relationship is multi-facetted: it concerns not only the normative foundations of how we think about justice and financial markets, but also

the legal framework within which financial markets take place, and which currently tends to favour certain players more than others. There are also questions of justice with regard to specific

institutions such as central banks or rating agencies, and with regard to the representation of women and other minorities in financial markets. And finally, there is the question of why reform is so slow. This accesible volume brings together analyses and proposals for reform, inviting us to rethink the place and role of financial markets in our societies.
