I personally propose the title can also be read this way :
*" Monetization as Reified Political Control "*

ABSTRACT: Reification has been a problematic concept. It has been deployed
across a range of areas, referring to the depersonalizing character of
capitalist exchange as well as the dehumanized administrative model that
made the Holocaust possible. It has been viewed both as a tool of the
bourgeoisie waged against the workers, as well as a product of the
Enlightenment, ultimately created by us. While the four key thinkers in
this dissertation – Lukács, Adorno, Foucault and Honneth – have different
perspectives on reification and its relation to truth and power, all agree
it has implications for the way we relate to each other socially in
everyday life and for our subjection within society. This dissertation aims
to specify what we mean by reification, and will seek to show how as a
product of our will to truth, we have privileged positivist rationality and
subsequently become detached from the antecedent stance of qualitative
recognition. I will argue that it is this process of ‘forgetting’ which has
made possible our wilful subordination in disciplinary society.
