Opinion Piece Teaching Financial-Monetary Hegemony in Geogeraphy
Keyword(s):
This opinion piece points to the need to more fully address the financial and monetary dimensions of the global political economy within geography education. The concept of financial-monetary hegemony is offered as a way to better understand a variety of issues commonly addressed in the geography classroom. More specifically, we suggest a concerted focus on both the increasing financialization of global capitalism and the related privileged position of the U.S. dollar in international banking and trade. We conclude that a more systematic pedagogical focus on financial-monetary hegemony can greatly enhance otherwise rather descriptive and abstract renditions of the world-system.
