Rationalization (economics)



In economics, rationalization is an attempt to change a pre-existing ad-hoc workflow into one that is based on a set of published rules. A general tendency in modern times to mathematize experience, knowledge, and work; or the growth of means-end rationality (goal-oriented rationality), referring to a highly precise calculation of means to attain a goal, and applying such calculation to the “conduct of life” itself.
