Template:M intro systems financialisation: Difference between revisions

{{drop|T|he most manipulable}}, [[fungible]], calculable, aggregatable articulation of [[value]] known to Western society is [[cash]] — [[degenerate fiat capitalism|''fiat'']] cash, sorry [[cryptobro]]s — and it is the common language in which we describe our interrelationships. Hence “financialisation”.  

But we are talking metaphorically here: there is “financialisation” in a broader sense that need not involve ''money'' as such: Out-of-five product reviews, [[performance appraisal]]s, [[RAG status]]es, [[net promoter score]]s, QR codes, implied carbon footprints, gender pay differentials — any numerically measurable criteria that convert the messy, idiosyncratic, intractable ''life experience'' into ordered columns, pivot tables, and scatter plots that can be averaged, extrapolated, enriched, [[Pareto triage]]d, [[standard deviation]] plotted, and put into ranked, tranched ''order''.
