The discourse of financialized capitalism aims to create a future that is predictable enough to manage risk for the wealthy, shaping it into a profit-making site that restricts and privatizes the sense of what is possible. Within this framework, people's hopes and meaning-making energies are policed through the burden of debt. In his book "Trading Futures," Filipe Maia offers a theological reflection on hope and the future, calling for escape routes from the debt economy. Drawing on Marxism, continental philosophy, and Latin American liberation theology, Maia provides a critical portrayal of financialization as a death-dealing mechanism that colonizes the future in its own image.

Maia elaborates on a Christian eschatology of liberation that offers a subversive mode of imagining future possibilities. He demonstrates how the Christian vocabulary of hope can be used to critique the hegemony of financialized capitalism, propelling us toward a just future that financial discourse cannot manage or control.
