A Question of Worth: Economy, Society and the Quantification of Human Value by Christopher Steed
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2 MB
Overview: We live in a world that has become a resource, a world conditioned by the progressive domination of a monetary scale applied across the board. Our value and worth are contingent upon what we earn and own. Amidst the financialization that characterizes much of the globe, the prevailing ethos is that the only values we can usefully measure are those that can be quantified and expressed in terms of economics. Yet economic value and the value of the human are closely connected: erode the economic and you erode the personal. In the global economic crash of recent years it has been people who have been under assault, not just financial value. The vulnerability of a society shaped only by economic and monetized transactions is exposed by what happens when the economy and the monetization of everything fails. When the economic machine seizes up, it is people who are devalued and dumped.
