The Collapse, Part Two:
FINANCE: THE POLITICAL STAKES
http://www.gaite-lyrique.net/evenement/enjeux-politiques-de-la-finance

At the hour of its separation from the so-called "real economy,"
finance has become a central actor in the global political landscape.
The economist and writer André Orléan describes the current state of finance as an all pervasive “thought of life”.

Finance dictates most of the main political axes today:
austerity, rigor, dismantling of public policies, compression of salaries, ...

Furthermore, it undermines the foundations of the institutions of our time:
currencies, sovereign states, Europe ...

We are witnessing a global collapse.

How did finance impose itself onto the political field?
Does its power come from its technical innovations, from the extreme complexity of financial products?
What are the consequences of these innovations for the modes of governance?
How is the power between states and markets distributed? What are the possible counter strategies against the power of finance?


With:
Franco Berardi, François Morin, Antoinette Rouvroy, Marc Swynghedauw.

François Morin (economist) will present the recent emergence of globalized finance,
its logical expansion, speculative bubbles, and hypertrophy;

Marc Swynghedauw (physicist and programmer, Ex Quant)
will speak about the technical aspects of finance,
and the evolution of market behavior in the last decade;

Antoinette Rouvroy (Research in Law and Computer Science, University of Namur, Belgium)
will explain the concept of 'algorithmic governmentality',
the links between data mining, mathematical models, prediction and power;

Franco Berardi (Italian philosopher and activist) will be speaking about the relation between language, finance, and poetical excess of the movement, in the framework of the research of a strategy of autonomy from financial capitalism.
