To understand our political economy, the micro activities constituting it are necessary to study. One of these aspects is gender and its effects on the economic outcomes. One of the main actors in current political economies is large financial organisations, banks and insurance companies. Their risk taking changes our economic outlooks. In this paper, I look into the effects of gender on this risk taking. Hegemonic dominant masculinity is a key aspect of financial market interactions, dominating the female. I show that the measures and people who have to control the risks taken in these markets are more feminine, translating into a lack of legitimacy in the a hegemonic dominant world. With that, I show the importance of the local gendered interactions to further understand outcomes on a larger political level.
