ABSTRACT
According to Michael Burawoy, a third wave of commodification is in progress in the so-called age of neoliberalism (2015: 22). Markets have not only ‘come to govern our lives as never before’ (Sandel, 2012: 5), but they are also now driven by the rationale of finance. Beyond the increasingly evident fact that everything can be bought or sold, access to financial markets remains indisputably conditional and – unlike rights, which are inherently unconditional – may aggravate exclusion and thus inequalities as well.
