How foundational are violence and coercion to
Western sovereign authority? According to Giorgio
Agamben, states of emergency have become not the
exception but the rule, and the individual has been
reduced by state power to "bare life" to an alarming
degree. Adam Kotsko explains and interprets the
Italian theorist's influential ideas.

We are quick to blame big television news networks
and the internet for the state of affairs, though the
practice harks back to over a century ago, when the
city editors of the biggest New York newspapers
were in fierce competition for readers. It was a time
before radio, when technological innovations for
sending words over wires, like telephones and Morse
code, revolutionized the news and the job of
journalism. Beat reporters walked the streets and
called in their copy to the rewrite desk, dozens of
newspapers published up to nine times a day, and
Charles Chapin, City Editor of Joseph Pulitzer’s the
Evening World, presided over it all.

Could spending be virtuous and thrift bad? Left-wing
economic and cultural historian James Livingston thinks
so. He suggests -- taking on the 19th century Populists,
the Frankfurt School, and current economic orthodoxy
along the way -- that consumption is good for social
justice and the environment. Livingston argues that, in
place of austerity and frugality, investment should be
socialized, wages increased, and the workweek.

are with us today.
