I think that if we pose the question
Matter is to Nature as ??? is to the Economy?
, a possible answer (among others) could be "time".
I understand that time is central for AIME. However it is not given an explicit central stage (like matter). Yet one hears people say that "the most difficult thing you can get from moderns is their time". Also time is central for modern existence as it is obvious for a Greek living in Greece, at the shores of modernity (you did not give us the money you promised in time, how can you be descent people if you do not pay in time, in time we will see how well you cooperate). Time is central for the intellectuals as well ( a deadline, the time that I will be paid, the times the project gets money from the funding institution). A stable construct of time is also important against existential angst (at times of crisis time derails) for everybody (to build and share autobiographies, to regulate the steady flow of meaning in life)
In modernity time is not something to play with, but in reseting moderity don't we need to reset time?
