Summary: Alongside the attempt to digitize everything in sight, a similar trend is taking place in the global economy: financialization. Here to discuss this is Emmanuel Daniel, a global thought leader in the future of finance. He describes the latest instances of data commodification as just one example of businesses seeking to financialize everything, and these trends are becoming extremely prevalent. Moreover, as people begin to gravitate towards alternative assets, it’s crucial to bear in mind that they subscribe to the same rules of the market and can be more volatile in early stages. Looking ahead, the US and other major economies will continue to generate debt, causing investors to question long term sustainability and where to put their trust.
