Abstract
Over the last decades the global neoliberal capitalist revolution has been defined by the interplay of the financial and the information and communication technology (ICT) sectors (Thompson 2010; Gates 2010; Schiller 2014; O’Dwyer 2017). High-tech and big money are leading poles of capitalist accumulation and, together, they have restructured or eliminated other industries, captured and transformed a vast gamut of social relations, and generated frenetic activity in the economic space between them: a speculative and highly consequential field of activities known as “fintech” (Bernards 2019).
