“…The producers of real wealth (industry, agriculture, and so on) had been superseded by powerful financial operators. Finance, financial technology, speculation, insurance, real estate, branding, consultancy, and ICT and data business were the new engines of wealth creation (Jessop 2010;Christophers 2012;Markantonatou 2013;Walby 2013;Berend 2013: 2;Haiven 2014b;Perrotini 2015;Bertolotti and Magnani 2015).

The aim of this article is to provide a discussion of scholarly 'crisis of modernity' discourses that have developed in the field of social philosophy. Revisiting past and present discourses can be illuminating in at least three ways: it can reveal the broader picture of the present financialized and technologized world and the rise of financial technologies; it can provide scholars with new vocabularies, concepts, and metaphors to comprehend present-day phenomena and developments; and it can reveal the variety of commitments that are possible, today, too. This article starts with a discussion of the original 'crisis of modernity' discourses (avant la lettre), in which the clashing arguments of Comte and Tocqueville are featured, and a discussion of a second 'crisis of modernity' that developed in the context of the 'Great Depression.' A third 'crisis of modernity' discourse emerged in the wake of the financial crises of the 1970s. Such crises are still ongoing and discussed within the boundaries of the third 'crisis of modernity' discourse. How financial technologies do and do not fit within this third discourse is discussed in the remainder of this article.
