Can one explain the power of global capitalism without attributing to capital a logic and coherence it does not have? Can one account for the powers of techno-science in terms that do not merely reproduce its own understanding of the world?
Rule of Experts examines these questions through a series of interrelated essays focused on Egypt in the twentieth century. These explore the way malaria, sugar cane, war, and nationalism interacted to produce the techno-politics of the modern Egyptian state; the forms of debt, discipline, and violence that founded the institution of private property; the methods of measurement, circulation, and exchange that produced the novel idea of a national "economy," yet made its accurate representation impossible; the stereotypes and plagiarisms that created the scholarly image of the Egyptian peasant; and the interaction of social logics, horticultural imperatives, powers of desire, and political forces that turned programs of economic reform in unanticipated directions.
Mitchell is a widely known political theorist and one of the most innovative writers on the Middle East. He provides a rich examination of the forms of reason, power, and expertise that characterize contemporary politics. Together, these intellectually provocative essays will challenge a broad spectrum of readers to think harder, more critically, and more politically about history, power, and theory.

想通了一些问题。大雾之中找到了一个浮标，但还不是照耀全局的灯塔。继续努力建好灯塔。但估计要先见到好几个灯塔 才知道自己的全局灯塔在哪里
评分这本比《殖民埃及》更从容

评分就个人而言，前三章最有趣味，也最细密，用了两周才看完。最后三章期望最高，写得却像无趣政论。算是历史学家里，对于经济学这一概念钻研最为有趣的一位了罢，可沿着他的脉络再走下去，就得读Foucault，Derrida，Simmel或Bruno等艰深怪物了，怕怕....先去海边晒太阳了。
评分Another view in revealing the discourse of development.
