Digital Financialization by Secrecy

Financialization Tyranny

In our digital age, in our digital financialization [1] age the Information Asymmetry is the core foundation of most tyrannies. Phrases like "knowledge is power" became "information is power" and now reborn as "Inform is gold" [2]. If information is the measure of modern power and wealth, then the asymmetry of information accessibility provides a tool for expansion of tyranny, old or new.

To correlate the tyranny to financialization, first we need to study the 1980s innovations of Financialized Capitalism [3] which begot the widespread global Digial Financialization.

Once there are digital networks in place to Financialize the capital, then asymmetric information access is a must to accumulate wealth, and the kind of wealth rooted in tyranny and begets only tyrannies and tyrants abound.
