Antonio Negri's article explores the relationship between the juridical categories of 'public' and 'private' and the political concept of the common through the theme of the 'material constitution' defining actual relations of power which defy the crystallization of 'formal constitutions'. The financial convention shaping the material constitution of contemporary capitalism refers to the rise of what Foucault called biopower, where value is no longer the expression of a mere quantity of commodities but of a set of activities and services, which are immediately cooperative. In this context, any form of measure cannot but be political and hence it must be established through new forms of economic governance. The social relation of capital becomes immediately political once money displaces labour as rule, norm and measure of value. As a result, processes of political subjectivation within the Eurocrisis combine de-stituent and con-stituent movements: requests for insolvencies, social occupations, commoning and mutualization are the means through which social struggles formulate the multitudes' demands for 'equality as a condition of freedom
