A chapter in Crowdfunding in Europe, 2016, pp 55-67 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In its early stages, research on crowdfunding focused primarily on the inside perspective of the phenomenon. The following article introduces a more comprehensive perspective, exploring the relevance of crowdfunding for society. With respect to the consequences of the financial crisis and societal challenges, the article outlines a research programme that contributes to the potential of crowdfunding on a societal level that can be explored from a media and communication science perspective and theory of financial intermediaries.
