THE SYSTEM OF POWER which lurks in modern forms of flexibility consists of three elements: discontinuous reinvention of institutions; flexible specialization of production; and concentration of without centralization of power.

The Corrosion of Character

Richard Sennett

Where indigenous communities are supposedly superstitious and primitive, modern societies are supposedly driven by science and reason. Where community-based economies are purportedly based on love and friendship, capitalism is taken to be 'objective' and quantitative. These __binary oppositions have little to do with reality, and their function is mainly to legitimise and maintain hierarchies between groups with different attributes or resources.__

Prefigurative Politics

Paul Raekstad and Sofia Saio Gradin

Community-based organisations have to acquire skills of financial management and ‘good governance’ in order to be eligible to bid for contracts. Service users may have to learn the language and logics of producers in order to engage effectively in ‘co-production’ activities. And, as the housing vignette suggested, ‘lay’ publics serving as participants or representatives in governing bodies not only have to learn new languages but have to translate their own perspectives and interests into them.
