Spanish term

desustancialización

Spanish to English Social Sciences Philosophy
This is a philosophical term, here used in relation to Simmel. The idea is clear. Not sure if in English the word would be desubstantiate, dissubstantiate, or another variation:

No es que el artículo de Waizbort se proponga adjudicar a la Philosophie des Geldes, una suerte de anticipación de las ideas expresadas por Knapp en Staatliche Theorie des Geldes, aunque sí son evidentes los parecidos de ambas obras en cuanto a la desustancialización del dinero, en oposición a las concepciones metalistas

The writer is Argentine

desubstantialization

The desubstantialization of money via its digization, combined with the decapitalization of the economy, has resulted in a situation where the operative economy is closer to feudalism than to capitalism proper, based as it is primarily on property as real estate.

To put it another way: the desubstantialization of money itself has become a reality. From the superficial point of view of bourgeois economic theory—which never managed to understand the allegedly “philosophical” implications of the economic concept of value and which had long restricted itself, on the practical plane, to producing techniques of financial manipulation or formulating, on the theoretical plane, Platonic mathematical models—this was, naturally, no catastrophe. Thus, after Keynes, everyone was compelled to assert that gold was only a “barbarous metal”, without any contemporary monetary significance. No one, of course, asked whether monetary social mediation and the fetishistic self-movement of “value” were not themselves barbarous primitivisms and ultimately not unlike the “barbarous metal” in that regard. The desubstantialization of money signifies nothing less than its effective devalorization, and thus the loss of an essential function of money: that of being the means of storing value.

I got two disagrees from Brits last time I used a Z spelling, so I'll just add that this can be spelled with an S or a Z, depending on who you're writing for and your personal preferences.

agree neilmac : Disagrees for a "z"? I prefer the "s" forms myself, but a disagree is taking orneriness too far.

They actually said it was a spelling mistake, and one of them posted the same answer with an S :-)

Dematerialised or paperless or e-nvoice

One of my long-standing clients is an EDI and e-billing software provider and over the past decade or so I've gotten used to terms like "facture demat" or "dematerialised invoice" (which I wasn't keen on at first, preferring the shorter "e-invoice").
The link below is to a previous similar kudoz query in FR-EN (dematerialised or paperless or electronic invoice).
