Dialogues Hum Geogr. 2024 Mar;14(1):47-50. doi: 10.1177/20438206231189580. Epub 2023 Jul 25.

Abstract

In this response, we address criticisms of our definition of assetization from an accounting perspective, its overlap with financialization, and the relationship between value and valuation it posits. We reflect on a future agenda around assetization emphasizing the political dimensions of externalizing future costs and the implications of rising inflation.

Keywords: Assetization; capitalization; financialization; valuation; value.
