• According to Michael Burawoy, a third wave of commodification is in pro­gress in the so-called age of neoliberalism (2015: 22). Markets have not only 'come to govern our lives as never before' (Sandel, 2012: 5), but they are also now driven by the rationale of finance. Beyond the increasingly evident fact that everything can be bought or sold, access to financial markets remains indi­sputably conditional and - unlike rights, which are inherently unconditional - may aggravate exclusion and thus inequalities as well.
