Your Definition
A critical term for how financialization—the domination of finance over the productive economy—operates as an authoritarian force. Financial markets impose discipline on governments (austerity), corporations (shareholder value), and individuals (debt). Those who cannot pay are subjected to wage garnishment, asset seizure, and credit exclusion. Authoritarian financialization is the power of bondholders over democracy, of credit scores over life chances, of debt over dignity. It rules not through soldiers but through compound interest and the threat of bankruptcy.
