Description
Assetization: Turning Things into Assets in Technoscientific Capitalism By Kean Birch and Fabian Muniesa The concept of asset has become central to technoscientific capitalism, where anything that can be controlled, traded, and capitalized as a revenue stream is valued. This book explores how assets are constructed and turned into valuable resources, examining the interests, activities, skills, organizations, and relations involved in this process. From knowledge and patents to infrastructure and natural resources, the authors analyze various aspects of assetization, including its implications for capitalism. The contributors offer diverse perspectives on the topic, shedding light on the complexities of asset creation and its impact on society. Through a critical examination of assetization, this book provides valuable insights into the workings of technoscientific capitalism and its effects on our world.
