A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
The power of strongs and smarts is characterized by the opposite impulse, by leaders who resent having to listen to a plurality of voices, and who take steps to delegitimize the knowledge of their detractors, including disenfranchisement efforts.
The Unknowers
Linsey McGoey
A corporation, first and foremost, governs workers. At the beginning of the 1970s, management faced massive indiscipline from the workers. How could it square up to these? How could it restore the former discipline? If the old procedures were obsolete, what form could a new art of governing take? Various strategies were envisaged and debated.
The Ungovernable Society
Grégoire Chamayou
Once the old public wealth has been denied and integrated into market production, those who benefit from it have no interest – quite the opposite – in returning to states of abundance outside the market. A firm that sells bottled water would have more of an objective interest in seeing public water fountains disappear. It is therefore necessary that the state of scarcity be perpetuated, even accentuated – and this is quite antithetical to a policy of rehabilitation and extension of environmental public goods.
