Notes
The analysis of this reconfiguration was the central purpose of the project “Political Security and Financial Stability following the Crisis” (2014–2018), as part of the SFB/Transregio 138 “Dynamics of Security” at the Universities of Giessen and Marburg (together with Prof. Dr. Andreas Langenohl).
In “The Great Transformation”, Polanyi describes how the social construction of markets can be understood as a political process. He provides an analysis of capitalist developments as a “double movement” of market expansion that is prescribed by the state and spontaneous societal attempts to restrict them.
Slavoy Žižek (2010) has argued that there is a “permanent economic emergency” in: New Left Review 64 (July/August), 85–95.
