Capitalistology

The study of capitalism—especially late‑stage capitalism—using Sovietological methods: analyzing its internal contradictions, elite factions, crisis management mechanisms, and ideological production. Capitalistology treats markets not as natural forces but as politically constructed and maintained. It examines how bailouts, regulatory capture, and financial engineering work like the Kremlin’s command economy—centralized decisions made by a few, presented as inevitable outcomes. It also studies the cultural apparatus (advertising, entertainment, self‑help) that produces consent for exploitation. The goal is to denaturalize what is presented as just “how things work.”

Example: “His capitalistology of the 2008 crash showed that the ‘invisible hand’ was actually a very visible set of coordinated government actions that saved banks while letting homeowners drown.”
