I know there are people out there who believe that financialization and REITs and I guess mortgages (?) are evil but can we at least try to restate those ideas in terms of an economic model? If economics 101 is too facile then try giving us economics 201.

The gamification of daily life is second only to the financialization of daily life in my hierarchy of "things that make modern life intolerable".

Somebody said "inflation = food, gas." I would add disappearance of features of "solid, stable, middle class life"--i.e., access to healthcare, education, and housing THAT YOU CAN AFFORD--for anyone outside the top 10% (maybe top 5%) because of privatization, financialization, monopoly capitalism.

I am assuming by "financialization" you are primarily talking about risk management? otherwise that is a boogeyman word that is often conflated with private wealth concentration (but it doesn't have to be!)

One of the political bets of tech—of social media, AI, the financialization-of-everything, disinfo & bots, alt-media, and lately betting markets—is you can create an "overlayer reality" that is as a shared collective belief of the world that has more power than other ways of collective belief.

increasingly fictitious capital is predicted in the financialization of the economy as capital accumulates .
Liberal Democracy is not democratic at all. Just a dictatorship of the capitalists.
"vote save america" spent 6.3m over the last year on election stuff and 2.49m of that went to "crooked media" (their own company) for podcast advertising and "service fees" lol

I think I’m going a start a series where I talk about weird monopolies and private equity roll ups that are making everybody’s lives a lot more difficult. Private equity and the financialization of everything is absolutely one of the roots causes of the affordability crisis.

Strongly recommend you check out @kevinskerrett.bsky.social 's work on Pension Fund Capitalism, and the argument he makes (with Sam Gindin) for moving retirement funds towards "pay as you go" schemes in order to strike a blow vs financialization.

It's also that all of the features of "solid, stable, middle class life"--such as knowing you have access to healthcare, education, and housing THAT YOU CAN AFFORD--are pretty much gone for anyone outside the to 10% (maybe top 5%) because of privatization, financialization, monopoly capitalism.

Financialization is money stuff designed to obscure risk. In other words, fraud.
Otherwise it’s just finance.

The problems of the us are caused by a disconnection between money and the real economy which is good and services, there is no way to fix it, and is a problem that has been cooking since 1970s with financialization and the abuse of the status of the dollar

yes & also there are more nefarious reasons why interests of tech companies +admins converge. AND financialization of education (universities have to make decisions to satisfy investors & keep up the bond rating) encourages purchasing of tech (and real estate) over paying/empowering academic workers
Read the whole piece; but also this is mindboggling:
”A products analytics firm on edtech shows that up to 80% of features in enterprise software are rarely or never used.”
Tell me again how there’s “no money” to hire faculty?
