This opinion piece draws on a tradition of sociological engagement with the fiscal and financial world to outline implications for risk management discipline. Risk management is considered through a sociological conception of economic agency. The emphasis is on the history of the management of defined benefit pension funds, reflecting empirical work conducted, but broader implications for financial institutions are also highlighted.
