Arundhati Roy, TomDispatch.com: "While we're still arguing about whether there's life after death, can we add another question to the cart? Is there life after democracy? What sort of life will it be? By 'democracy' I don't mean democracy as an ideal or an aspiration. I mean the working model: Western liberal democracy, and its variants, such as they are."

Toward a Breakdown of the Capitalist Subject?

Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval, Le Monde: "Perhaps the economic catastrophe is dissipating the most glaring illusions about the self-regulating market, making global capitalism's doctrinarians a bit less arrogant, provoking the spectacular conversions of some 'leaders' who would urgently like to make us forget their previous blindness. But the catastrophe has not yet brought about the blockage of all the apparatuses, all the discourses, all the policies that constitute the present mode of governing men and societies. This mode has a name: capitalism."
