Individualisation has become an ambiguous, but defining feature of late modern societies and while it is in part characterised by an increase in individual autonomy and a sense of liberation, individuals are equally required to negotiate a fragmented, pluralised and ambiguous social order by themselves.

Dieses Buch zeigt am Beispiel der Finanzzentren Frankfurt am Main und Sydney, wie in der Finanzklasse gemeinsame Formen ökonomischen, kulturellen und sozialen Kapitals entstehen.

Ein neuer Modus sozialer Grenzziehung wird sichtbar, der paradox erscheint: Exklusivität durch Einschluss, Abschottung durch Öffnung.
