Building on, and going beyond, the state-of-the-art literature, this article aims to advance the analysis and conceptualization of the financialization of households. It argues that there is a need to better conceptualize the household and that the relations between households and other actors in financialized capitalism require further elaboration. Its contribution rests on providing a high-level review of literature and on proposing a relational and activity-orientated approach to the household as a micro-level social institution performing its activities through a web of relationships. Furthermore, it builds on the concept of ‘financial chains’ to draw attention to power relations and transfers of value between households and other economic actors. In doing so, the article also highlights the uneven ways through which households are inserted into such ‘financial chains’ and explores social, spatial and temporal dimensions of household financialization. Finally, it suggests avenues for further research.

理解家庭金融化：最先进的技术及更先进的技术

本文基于并超越最先进的文献，旨在推进家庭金融化的分析和概念化。它认为，有必要更好地概念化家庭，并且家庭与金融化资本主义中其他参与者之间的关系需要进一步阐述。它的贡献在于提供了对文献的高水平审查，并提出了一种以关系和活动为导向的方法，将家庭作为一个微观层面的社会机构，通过关系网络开展其活动。此外，它建立在“金融链”概念的基础上，以引起人们对家庭和其他经济参与者之间的权力关系和价值转移的关注。在这样做，文章还强调了家庭融入此类“金融链”的不平衡方式，并探讨了家庭金融化的社会、空间和时间维度。最后，它提出了进一步研究的途径。
