Moneybags Must Be So Lucky
In the nineteenth century, Karl Marx wondered how it was possible for the exchange of commodities to generate so much wealth for some and so much misery for the others. A similar question now haunts our discussions of financial markets: how can the expanding trade in financial securities create such extraordinary wealth for the financiers while creating increasing vulnerability for the rest of us? Taking a leaf out of Marx’s playbook, I propose i…

Violence, non-violence
The article examines Sartre’s highly controversial preface to The Wretched of the Earth. Its aim is to identify what, in the various modes of address, are elements in an economy of violence and what, on the contrary, participates in a process of recognition.

The Resilience of Left and Right
Alain de Benoist offers an insightful account of important changes that have taken place in recent years in French political discourse. The focus (and the title) of his article, however, are misleading, for they draw attention to a manifestation of these changes, not to their cause. Though the categories of Left and Right have undoubtedly fallen out of favor in France, the blurring of these categories should not cloud our perception of the larger…
