Excellent- More about Gender, Space and City Bankers
Gendered processes of globalisation, transnationalisation, and urbanisation are increasing local and global inequalities and widening the gap between the rich and the poor. This book explores the day-to-day individual and institutional social practices of wealthy City bankers and banks, offering insight into how the spaces of work and home are integrally linked in ways that mutually shape, support, and sustain the gendered dominance of the industry and its highly paid workers.

Gendered processes of globalisation, transnationalisation, and urbanisation are exacerbating local and global inequalities and deepening the divide between the rich and the poor. The global finance industry plays a pivotal role in these processes, overseeing its operations from local command centers in global cities like London. Drawing on empirical data collected after the 2008 financial crisis – in-depth interviews with male City of London bankers who are also fathers, in-depth interviews with the bankers' wives, observational data of work and family spaces, and banks' promotional online material – this book explores the day-to-day individual and institutional social practices of wealthy City bankers and banks. The book's analysis provides insight into how the spaces of work and home are intricately interconnected in ways that mutually shape, support, and sustain the gendered dominance of the industry and its highly paid workers.
This book will be of interest to postgraduate students, researchers, and academics specialising in gender studies, critical studies of men and masculinities, urban and metropolitan studies, sociology, studies of globalisation and transnationalisation, anthropology, cultural studies, and business management. It will also be of relevance to those concerned about the role of the finance industry and neoliberal capitalist ideologies, values, and practices in perpetuating ever-widening local and global inequalities.
