AUT: RE: Immeasurable value

[".: s0metim3s :." <s0metim3s@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

: Does anyone have any insight into the
: section in Empire 4.1 on
: "Immeasurability"?  They write:
:
:  "Even if in postmodern capitalism there is
: no longer a fixed scale that measures
: value, value nonetheless is still
: powerful and ubiquitous....In Empire,
: the construction of value takes place
: beyond measure."


I think it's code for the decline of the US dollar
as the global currency and the rise of
fundamentalisms of various stripes ...


: "...outside measure refers to the
: impossibility of power's calculating and
: ordering production at a global level,
: beyond measure refers to the vitality
: of the productive context, the
: expression of labor as desire, and its
: capacities to constitute the
: biopolitical fabric of Empre from below."

... or maybe just a comment on the extreme
immanence of power.

(Ok, my first comment is a joke, but only just.)
