You might consider including education in 2). Especially in the US, it has become highly financialized like medicine. Also a sink-hole for parents desperately spending money on their children (their legacy (afterlife) issues, as opposed to their end-of-life issues).
Increasingly, it is an internationally traded commodity both in terms of students and faculty. And it tends to flow from periphery to core. That raises all sorts of brain-drain and development questions.
Nicely done. I largely agree, but note that this is the eternal riposte of the historian vs the philosopher, the particular vs the general. So the question becomes, in these circumstances, should we narrow our focus, or expand our view? My sense is that for political discourse, especially in the social sciences/humanities, "capitalism" ("neoliberalism," "power" etc.) are used so capaciously as to obscure more than they reveal. So focus is advisable.
Synecdoche? Taxonomy? WTF? I literally have NEVER heard those words actually used in my life by someone I am talking to or listening to. I'm an investment professional, try to keep your Chartbook posts insightful and relevant to the global economy. If you'd rather go full scale academic on us and impress us with your command of the English language, let us know. I'll drop my subscription.
