Greta R. Krippner
Greta R. Krippner is a historical sociologist whose work explores the evolving relationship between markets and political institutions, particularly within the context of postwar American capitalism.
Her research focuses on economic and political sociology, examining how stable social structures of the postwar "Golden Age" have been reconfigured over recent decades.
Her book, Capitalizing on Crisis (Harvard University Press, 2011), investigates the financialization of the U.S. economy since the 1970s.
Her ongoing research extends this work by examining the curious absence of political engagement around credit and finance in late twentieth-century America.
