Financialization, literature review, definition of financializationAbstract
In view of the growing use of the term "financialization" to interpret the ongoing changes in the capitalist economy and its use in academic production on education in Brazil, this article seeks to recover its historical origins and the way in which the already abundant production present in the literature has been organized. We took as a starting point some widely cited works in the literature and literature reviews in order to recover their origins and the main meanings attributed to the term. It is concluded that there are important gaps in the bibliography, which points to the need for new approaches in order to articulate the different concepts used to interpret the ongoing transformations, whether it is the relationship between financialization, globalization, and neoliberalism or its relationship with the digitalization of capitalism. At the end, it presents some questions that may indicate possible lines of investigation.
