Opinion | The Finance Industry Is a Grift. Let’s Start Treating It That Way.

Ein lesenswerter, kritischer Artikel über die Finanzindustrie, u.a. über die Zusammenhänge zwischen der #Financialization der Wirtschaft und stagnierender Produktivität bzw. geringen Infrastruktur-Investitionen: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/o...

Our financialized US economy treats businesses as assets to be manipulated for maximum investor returns, with workers “just another cost” and customers “just revenue streams to be tapped.” #Financialization has left us with “slow wage growth and rising #inequality.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/o...

See through the delusion. There is no #Baltimore. No #Seattle. Am I a #Patriots fan? Of sorts. Under #neoliberalism & #financialization (rentier capitalism), city gov'ts are primarily investment vehicles. Everything else is secondary..at best.

The numbers don’t lie: The housing crisis is not caused by a supply shortage - CCPA Financialization, not demographics, caused the cost of housing to explode

My analysis for @policyalternatives.ca shows that arguments about immigration and "supply shortages" cannot explain housing inflation in Canada.

It argues that, beyond actuarial rationality, the everyday practices of insurance governance also rely on the outsourcing of violence and on the entrepreneurialization of the public forces of order." on a grey backround.

Financialization Here’s an eye-popping chart: the volume of futures this century. As you can see, with the exception of a post-financial crisis lull spanning 2009-2015, it’s been amazing.

#Financialization

I watched a community theatre show last night (which was fantastic). It got me thinking about financialisation, and how it leads the hard right to routinely conflate the economically productive and the financial profitable. As if they're one and the same.
