A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
Problematizations of unemployment do not just happen inside policy-makers' and other experts' heads. Rather, we need to see problematization in terms of a heterogeneous and plural milieu which combines humans and non-human artefacts; we need to understand governmental thought as an eminently practical activity which is not possible without the existence of all manner of technologies of inscription, description, recording, and representation.

William Walters
She must still discover that myths are basic truths twisted into mnemonics, instructions posted from the past, memories waiting to become predictions.

Richard Powers
Holism asserts that any hierarchy of influence of spheres in a particular society is something that must be empirically demonstrated in particular historical situations.

Liberating Theory
Michael Albert, Holly Sklar
