资本的幽灵约瑟夫·沃格尔（译者约阿希姆·雷德纳和罗伯特·萨维奇）斯坦福大学出版社，2015年各种先天秩序的概念一直是不断发展的世界观的核心，在西方历史的连续时代提供了一个连贯的心理架构。在《资本的幽灵》一书中，约瑟夫·沃格尔（Joseph Vogl）特别追溯了其中一个概念的发展和持续演变，即市场经济是一个有序和公正的体系。他带读者回顾了现代思想的许多方面，例如牛顿的自然秩序体系对伯纳德·曼德维尔、亚当·斯密和其他人所发展的观点的影响，即个人对自身利益的追求将产生一种自我调节，而不是狗咬狗的混乱，生产力和道德上合理的社会和经济秩序。资本的幽灵审查了一个有序的市场体系的想法在智能，虽然不是详尽的，细节，然后继续“解构”它，认为连贯性并不存在。“世界变得不可读...总的来说，事情正在失去控制。“沃格尔写了一本后现代主义的批判，解构是他的主题。因此，读者会发现这本书有不同的维度。根据读者的不同，这些似乎是有价值的、有启发性的和有趣的;或者，相反，是虚无主义的和自命不凡的。关于思想史，沃格尔的书提供了一个很好的总结，但这样说并不是说他的叙述提供了（或者可能是打算提供）任何原创的东西。一部好的经济思想史将对古典经济学和新古典经济学背后的思想进行同样的回顾，并将提供比沃格尔所渴望的更多的细节。然而，这段历史必须是相当现代的，因为沃格尔在描述导致世界最近金融危机的最新经济思想和市场行为方面尤其出色。最近一些关于危机的书在这些主题上也做得很好。关于他的解构主义主题，市场并不是一个真正的产生秩序和正义的精美珠宝机制，有几件事要说。然而，在我们注意到这本书的文体维度之前，我们对这些问题的讨论是有帮助的。标志着Vogl后现代主义的神秘主义将拒绝许多读者，这不是没有理由的。然而，它会吸引那些沉迷于深奥的思想的人。希望也会有读者出于好奇而阅读《资本的幽灵》，希望能够体验近几十年来知识界超级老练的人所做的那种写作。这样的人为数众多，了解他们是件好事。UrbanDictionary.com上的“后现代主义”条目给出了一个大胆的、不敬的、讽刺的概括--尽管如此，它还是很好地抓住了这场运动的本质。上面写着“...在德里达、鲍德里亚、福柯和伊利加雷等思想家的领导下，它像癌症一样扩散到至少是“软”科学领域，如果不是更远的话。[It]通过在信徒的头脑中建立道德或科学意义上都没有终极真理，并用华丽的语言打扮B*，阴险地起作用.不幸的是，这些问题是在大量有倾向性的废话中提出来的。在这种情况下，我们发现Vogl说的是一种只有初学者才知道的语言：旧的艺术获得了一个新的、有特权的话语空间。“并且：对政治经济学的批判将“必须消除古典经济学理论中所承认的无厘头”，并将需要揭露“加密在价值形式中的异化过程，或者[众所周知]以批判的本体论来面对交换价值的幽灵和商品的变形。…
The Specter of Capital Joseph Vogl (translators Joachim Redner and Robert Savage) Stanford University Press, 2015Various conceptions of innate order have been central to the evolving worldviews that have provided a coherent mental architecture during the successive epochs in the history of the West. In The Specter of Capital, Joseph Vogl traces the development, and continuing evolution, of one of these conceptions in particular - the idea that a market economy is an orderly and just system. He takes the reader back through a number of facets of modern thought, such as the influence of the Newtonian system of natural order on the view developed by Bernard Mandeville, Adam Smith and others that individuals' pursuit of their self-interest would produce, instead of dog-eat-dog chaos, a self-regulating, productive and morally justified social and economic order.The Specter of Capital examines the idea of an orderly market system in intelligent, although not exhaustive, detail, and then proceeds to "deconstruct" it, arguing that the coherence isn't really there. "The world has become unreadable... Things in general are running out of control." Vogl has written a postmodernist critique, with deconstruction as his main theme.Accordingly, a reader will find the book to have varied dimensions. Depending upon the reader, these will seem valuable, instructive and intriguing; or, on the contrary, nihilistic and pretentious. Let's look at them one at a time:With regard to the intellectual history, Vogl's book provides an excellent summary, but to say this is not to say that his account supplies (or perhaps is intended to supply) anything original. A good history of economic thought will give the same review of the thinking behind classical and neo-classical economics, and will supply considerably more detail than Vogl has aspired to. It would have to be a history that is quite up to date, however, since Vogl is especially good in his description of the most recent economic thinking and market behavior that led to the world's recent financial crisis. A number of recent books about the crisis are also very good on those subjects.There will be several things to say about his deconstructionist theme that the market is not really a finely jeweled mechanism producing order and justice. It will be helpful, however, to hold our discussion of those until we have noted the book's stylistic dimension. The esoterica that marks Vogl's postmodernism will turn away a good many readers, and not without justification. It will appeal, though, to the type of mind that revels in the abstruse. There should hopefully be readers, too, who will read The Specter of Capital out of curiosity, hoping to sample the experience of diving into the sort of writing done in recent decades by the super-sophisticates of the intellectual world. Such folks are numerous, and it's good to be aware of them.The entry for "postmodernism" in UrbanDictionary.com gives an audaciously irreverent and sarcastic capsule summary - which, for all that, captures the essence of the movement quite well. It says that "...under thinkers like Derrida, Baudrillard, Foucault and Irigaray [it has] spread like cancer into at least the 'soft' sciences, if not further afield. [It] works insidiously by establishing in the minds of the faithful that there are no ultimate truths in either the moral or a scientific sense, and dressing up b***s*** in flowery language... Unfortunately these matters are brought up in the midst of reams and reams of tendentious twaddle."In this vein, we find Vogl talking a language known only to the initiates: "...the chrematistics of old acquires a new and privileged discursive space." And: a critique of political economy would "have to do away with the aporias admitted into the classical theories of economics" and will need to unmask "the estrangement processes encrypted in the value form, or [be known] for confronting the specter of exchange value and the metamorphosis of commodities with a critical ontology. …
