Marketology
The study of markets and economics using Sovietological methods: treating markets not as natural phenomena but as politically constructed institutions that serve powerful interests. Marketology examines how market ideologies (efficiency, rational choice, equilibrium) function as propaganda, how prices are manipulated through insider information and regulatory capture, and how financial crises are managed to protect the wealthy. It studies central banks, rating agencies, and the IMF as the equivalent of planning committees—opaque bodies that make decisions with enormous consequences, presented as technical necessity rather than political choice.
Example: “Her marketology of high‑frequency trading revealed that ‘efficient markets’ are actually rigged by algorithms that front‑run orders—the invisible hand has a very visible thumb on the scale.”
