Example text
So, while financialization can contribute to a qualitative change of signs and symbols, such as those guiding an individual acting like a financial investor in his or her daily life, it also marks the advent of increasingly symbolically articulated economic activities. The sociological implications of the latter set of changes were most explicitly captured by Jean Baudrillard (1975). Despite mainly devoting his attention to the rising significance of consumption in value creation, his early works provide some conceptual tools adaptable to the analysis of financialization.
Competition is understood as a key market principle and driving force behind the emergence of utility-maximizing and personally responsible individuals. However, Hayek’s aversion to all forms of planning meant that he anticipated the development of competitive practices as part of an evolutionary process of adaptation, rather than as the result of institutional strategies. This puts his position at odds with the ordoliberal tradition1 , and crucially, with really existing neoliberalism. Indeed, under the latter, the state has come to assume an immensely strategic role in promoting and institutionalizing competition by, for example, the creation of free-trade blocs or the withdrawal of subsidies and labour rights.
The sociological implications of the latter set of changes were most explicitly captured by Jean Baudrillard (1975). Despite mainly devoting his attention to the rising significance of consumption in value creation, his early works provide some conceptual tools adaptable to the analysis of financialization. Of particular interest, here, is his stance on the Marxian critique of political economy which, he claims, fails to grasp adequately the implications of recent economic transformations for the creation of value.
