Abstract
The article proposes contributions to two current debates within the scope of economic geography: the recent developments in the geography of markets, in lineages that theorize the centrality of the proactive formation of new markets for the dynamics of capitalist expansion in sociospatial perspective, seeking to reposition the category in economic geography (beyond the opposition between the simple liberal apology and the simple condemnation from a critical perspective); and the theoretical discussion about the financialization of space, a fundamental dynamic in the contemporary relations between space and economy and in the expanded reproduction of the current economic system. With the objective of adding conceptual tools for the study of contemporary dynamics of high relevance to the field of economic geography, through commented bibliographic research augmented with new elaborations, the text also addresses the deepening of financialization in its current rounds, related to rentist extraction extended towards popular economies and the so-called platform capitalism in the metropolis.
