Культура Частной Собственности (КЧС) - наследство

Lamentations 5:

1 Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us; behold, and see our reproach.

2 Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, our houses unto aliens.

Затокрымнаш!

Китайские студенты валом валят: семинары, открытые курсы, дискуссии с панелистами (panelists - как это сказать по-русски?).

А русские студенты и администраторы думают, отменят ли им грант на курс в логове вероятного противника, и будут ли работать их кредитные карточки в США.

Personalization of prison

Michel Foucault discusses a major change in the punishment system (end of the 18th century - the Walnut Street prison, Philadelphia, 1790): from crime to criminality:

A whole corpus of individualizing knowledge was being organized that took as its field of reference not so much the crime committed (at least in isolation), but the potentiality of danger that lies hidden in an individual and which is manifested in his observed everyday conduct. The prison functions in this as an apparatus of knowledge.

Knowledge becomes power.

Культура Частной Собственности (КЧС) - прибыль

Unlimited greed for gain is not in the least identical with capitalism, and is still less its spirit. Capitalism may even be identical with the restraint, or at least a rational tempering, of this irrational impulse. But capitalism is identical with the pursuit of profit, and forever renewed profit, by means of conscious, rational, capitalistic enterprise. - Max Weber.
