     For this is clear: the whole reason for the existence of socialistic agitation, as it is to-day attempted, with the cry of a "need of nature" in the economic development, falls to the ground in the moment when this economic development does not lead to the proletarianisation of the masses and to the communisation of the processes of production—to mercantile operations on a large scale.

   • 1959, W. L. Burn, “The Conservative Tradition and Its Reformulations=”, in Morris Ginsberg, editor, Law and Opinion in England in the Twentieth Century, Berkeley, Los Angeles, Calif.: University of California Press, →OCLC, pages 42–43:

     [H]e would have found if he had lived for another half-century, and can be credited for foreseeing in 1906, such a disintegration and proletarianisation of society as he understood it as to transform it into a mob, and such a weakening of the national will as to leave it purposeless and helpless.

   • 1986, Kathryn May Robinson, “Conclusion”, in Stepchildren of Progress: The Political Economy of Development in an Indonesian Mining Town (SUNY Series in the Anthropology of Work), Albany, N.Y.: State University of New York Press, →ISBN, page 287:

     [T]he mining project set in motion a process of proletarianisation, whereby the indigenous people of Soroako (the orang asli Soroako) became incorporated into a system of social relations organised around the appropriation of the means of production by a single class that exploits the labour of a nonpropertied class.

     Pereira (2016) speaks of performativity schemes designed to monitor individual and institutional performance which according to Burrows (2012) are based on metrics and ranking structures that enable and legitimise a "quantified control" (Burrows (2012) in Pereira (2016), p. 100) of the different types of academic work, throwing many research activities, including publication, into contexts of new proletarianisations.
