“No, I get it. You have to convince yourself that doing well and doing good are the same thing. The whole world’s run by people who think even when the dark days come, they’ll just sub in money for justice and it’ll all be fine.”
The Deluge
Stephen Markley
“While personal and individual freedom in the marketplace is guaranteed, each individual is held responsible and accountable for his or her own actions and well-being. This principle extends into the realms of welfare, education, health care, and even pensions.”

Anand Giridharadas
The idea, in its non-overstated and non-exaggerated form, is simply this: that __if power is to be effective, those subject to it ... must be rendered susceptible to its effects.__ Repression is ‘negative’, presumably, in saying ‘no’: it prohibits and constrains, setting limits to what agents do and might desire. ‘Production’ is ‘positive’: power in this sense ‘traverses and produces things, it induces pleasure, forms knowledge, produces discourse’ (Foucault 1980a: 119).
