During the last thirty years, finance has constantly increased not only its share of economicactivity but also of people's worldview and aspirations. We call this practical and conceptual process b3 sfinancialization b4 s. Financialization has transformed both our economy and our society byincreasingly organizing it around the search for financialefficiency. Today, pushed to its extremes, this tendency is coming close to its breaking point. However, a society based on fundamental values of free judgment, responsibility and solidarity - which forms part ofthe common good - is still possible.
