I won't try to define postmodernism, but I'm pretty sure a significant part of it has to do with abandoning traditional modes of operation and freestyling a bit with your worldview.
I don't question that the problems you're describing are problematic, but what do they have to do with postmodernism? It seems like in the cases you're describing, the postmodern approach would be to call into question whether the abstractions in use ("value" in this case) are applicable, and to instead march to the beat of your own drum in some way.
