The theory of “Platonic Financialization” has gained considerable traction in the past decade as a framework for understanding the increasingly abstract nature of financial markets in contemporary capitalism. Building on the classical philosophy of Plato, the concept posits that modern finance operates not within the tangible realities of production or trade but within an idealized, abstract realm that mirrors Plato’s theory of Forms. Financial instruments, particularly derivatives, cryptocurrencies, and algorithmic trading models, are seen as manifestations of “ideal forms” that dictate the material economy.
