The Sovereignty Effect Markets and Power in the Economic Regime joseph vogl Translated by William Callison The two parts of this essay revolve around a few dramas in the contemporary economy of finance. Part 1 will raise the question of the extent to which knowledge of the financial economy is a dangerous kind of knowledge, as it not only failed to predict the last crisis but, if anything, co-produced it. Part 2 will look more precisely at the organization of power in the financial-economic regime. At issue here will be the figure of an emergency politics that takes hold in the gray area between political structures and economic dynamics. Part 1: The Strange Survival of Theodicy in the Economy For six years now we've been good inhabitants of crisis [Krisenbewohner], and good inhabitants of crisis we shall continue to be.
