and is it not more america that exploits africa now? is it not more globalised anyway and multi nationals doing the exploitation? i would assume its less specific guys getting together at the g8 and developing fuck africa policies and more conglomerates and corporations doing it and hiring lobbyists or financing politicians if the law gets in the way.

either way im not disagreeing really disagreeing with you in the main.

and i really dont want to read anymore chomsky at the moment, there are a lot other more interesting authors.

everyone has their grubby mits on Africa these days.
America: Liberia, Congo/Zaire

NuBureaucracy and Capitalist Realism

2-4pm
12th February 2010
Council Room
Laurie Grove Baths
Centre for Cultural Studies
Goldsmiths

Neoliberalism presents itself as the enemy of bureaucracy, the destroyer of the nanny state and the eliminator of red tape. Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism (Zer0 books, 2009) argues that, contrary to this widely accepted story, bureaucracy has proliferated under neoliberalism. Far from decreasing, bureaucracy has changed form, spreading all the more insidiously in its newly decentralised mode. This 'nu-bureaucracy' is often carried out by workers themselves, now induced into being their own auditors. Capitalist Realism aims to challenge the successful ideological doublethink in which workers' experience of increasing bureaucratisation co-exists with the idea that bureaucracy belongs to a 'Stalinist' past.


This symposium will explore nu-bureaucracy and other related concepts developed in Capitalist Realism, such as 'business ontology' and 'market Stalinism'. How has nu-bureaucracy affected education and public services, and how can it be resisted? What implications might the attack on nu-bureaucracy have for a renewed anti-capitalism?
