liquefaction
(en)
(noun) the process of making or becoming liquid / (noun) the state of being liquid / (noun) conversion of soil into a fluidlike mass during an earthquake or other seismic event
What the capitalist master-desire in the neoliberal era seeks is nothing less than the liquefaction of labour-power, making the overall size of the workforce into something fluid, reversible, and as easily adjustable as the components of a portfolio of financial assets, with the inevitable effect of creating a world of extreme uncertainty for enlistees.
never seen it used in an economic context before but it kind of makes sense
