慈善活动使统治阶级能够产生关于社会和管理规定的知识，特别是通过促进社会科学的发展。19世纪世纪的实业家们常常把他们的资源投入到相关社会问题的定义和处理上，以便使他们所代表的新形式的资本主义制度化。在20世纪后期，代表金融资本霸权的新的跨国化社会阶层使用了类似的策略，他们的权力取决于他们维持新的社会经济秩序的能力。慈善事业提供了一种特殊的战略，可以产生新形式的“政策知识”，与其推动者的利益相一致。本文以金融家乔治·索罗斯创办的中欧大学为中心，认为这些努力非但没有寻求遏制经济全球化的过度，反而通过奠定自身监管秩序的基础，实际上使其制度化。
Philanthropic practices allow the dominant classes to generate knowledge about society and regulatory prescriptions, in particular by promoting the development of the social sciences. The 19th century industrialists had often invested their resources in the definition and treatment of relevant social issues, in order to institutionalize the new form of capitalism they represented. In the late 20th century, the new transnationalized social strata representing the hegemony of financial capital, whose power depends on their capacity to perpetuate the new socioeconomic order, used similar strategies. Philanthropy offers a privileged strategy for generating new forms of “policy knowledge” convergent with the interests of their promoters. Focusing on the Central European University founded by the financier George Soros, the paper argues that, far from seeking to curb the excesses of economic globalization, such efforts are actually institutionalizing it by laying the foundations of its own regulatory order.
