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.

此書讓我基本理解瞭articulate這個單詞的意思，這是最大的收獲。除此之外，對於這類將概念和知識本身作為研究對象的後現代作品，我雖然可以慢慢學著欣賞，但至今為止還沒有真正喜歡上。關鍵問題還是那個，總覺得這些東西善於打破一個舊框架，而不善於為它打破的這個舊框架尋找更好的替代物，每每想到這裏，就覺得這些研究很象牙塔，雖然精緻，但總有些乏味。
评分社科纔子書，但備考期間時間有限，隻能囫圇吞棗不求甚解瞭。一手牽波蘭尼脫嵌傳統，一手接Callon經濟化議題，討論埃及19-20世紀經濟範疇（尤其是土地産權）的形成，如何既嵌入於尼羅河榖獨特的社會議程和治理需求，又作為獨特的力量塑造瞭現代埃及的地緣地位。一章一個主題，但不同主題之間又相互照應。文風真是草蛇灰綫，汪洋肆意……
