This paper explores the disconnect between civil society and private financial markets, posing critical questions about their relationship. It investigates why private financial markets have historically received minimal attention from civil society, why campaigns have failed to engage with the informal governance of these markets, and why NGOs did not mobilize during significant social movements like Occupy and Indignados in 2011-2012. These provocations aim to spark dialogue on improving civil society's involvement in and influence over financial market governance.
