This article examines the spread of financialization in Germany before the financial crisis. It provides an up-to date overview on the literature on financialization and reviews which of the phenomena typically associated with financialization have emerged in Germany. In particular, the article aims to clarify how the prevailing institutional structure and its changes had contributed to or had countervailed the spread of financialization and how it had shaped the specific German variant of financialization. For this end, it combines the rich literature on Germany's institutional structure with the more macroeconomic oriented literature on financializaton. With the combination of those different perspectives the article sheds light on the reasons for the spread of financialization and the specific forms it has taken in Germany. 2019 Level: debutante Financialization made in Germany: A review Daniel Detzer Institute for International Political Economy Berlin Recording of the Workshop “The collateral supply effect on central banking”, 04.02.2021, part of the "Next Generation Central Banking - Climate Change, Inequality, Financial Instability" conference by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung 2021 Level: adelantado NextGen Central Banking: The collateral supply effect on central banking Finanzwende e.V. & Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, Carolyn Sissoko, UWE Bristol; Steffen Murau, Boston University; Michael Peters, Finanzwende Transformative Responses, Heinrich-Böll-Foundation & Finanzwende What the heck is the yield curve?
