Profanity and the Financial Markets
A User’s Guide to Closing the Casino

[Excerpt]:

These are tremendous changes with respect to Keynesian Fordism. But one could go further and show how the cybernetic calculus of finance operates as a coordinating rationality for just-in-time production, distribution and sales. When the G-20 finance ministers strive to forestall a transnational credit crunch, it is this just-in-time system that they are serving. The rhythms of finance have come to govern the entire circulation system of the world economy.16 However, if we want to understand how the social relations of the trading floor have spilled over to reshape contemporary culture – through a “functional overdetermination” of the financial apparatus – then we will have to turn back to the micro level, and look more closely at what actually happens inside the casino.

Mapping the Movement

Caption: Groups as hexagons. Thinking about cells and total coverage. There are no gaps in this model, however. Also we’re conceiving a group as min 5 people right now, but pentagons are evil.

ABOUT MTM:

We’re looking here to collectively express and advance an understanding of how individuals and groups are working together as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Abstract concepts in pictures speak volumes. 

Abstract concepts in words take volumes.

Here are some of the type questions we’re looking to tackle.

  • What is a group and how do people work within them, between them, outside them?
  • What is a document?
  • How are decisions made?
  • How do decisions impact groups?
  • Um… what is a group?

We value a multiplicity of stories.
