Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The relationship between economy and society increasingly takes financialized form. In this article, I examine two mediations of climate change which attempt to re/settle this financialized relationship: (a) stranded assets, a representation of value lost as the long-term lives of assets are interrupted; and (b) internal proxy pricing for carbon, a mechanism which allows firms to integrate a price for carbon into investment decision-making. I argue that internal proxy pricing allows investors to protect assets whose long-term value has been thrown into question by climate change. This suggests that discussions of financialization should be focused not only on the construction of financial value, but also on the ways in which value dissipates over time. These contending mediations also provoke questions about the relationship between ‘risk’ and ‘uncertainty’ in ways that suggest a fundamental reordering of what it means to confront an unknowable future in a moment of financialized calculation.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
