👉 Commentarialism is a philosophical and political theory that argues against the idea of using economic or monetary terms to describe social relations, as opposed to the use of legal or other formal language. It posits that while economic transactions are often described through economic terms, relationships between individuals and institutions are not always understood in terms of legal contracts or other formal agreements. Commentarialism suggests that we should focus on understanding the social dynamics within which these relationships occur, rather than using economic or monetary terms to describe them
