Financialisation
Financialisation is the term for non-financial corporations engaging in financial transactions – such as investing, increasing debt for strategic reasons, buying back their own shares and buying out potential competitors – to create higher shareholder value in the short term. This has been happening in numerous sectors - from pharma and electronics to big tech. Financialisation can create huge social cost. SOMO investigates different sectors where financialisation is happening and problematises the consequences.
