  • People are being configured by FinTech capital as users and data rather than as consumers

Authors: PAUL LANGLEY & ANDREW LEYSHON

How people pay, make savings and investments, buy insurance, and take on debt is undergoing  digital transformation across the globe. This book argues that FinTech is a distinct form of intermediary and rentier capital that is radically reorganizing the routine social relations of money and finance. 

People are being configured by FinTech capital as users and data rather than as consumers. Langley and Leyshon analyze the rise of FinTech capital through the intersecting processes of digital and financial capitalism that underpin it.
