Lüneburg, Meson Press, pp. 173-186 Notes [1] Multitude is a political concept at the limits of sovereign power dating from Machiavelli and Spinoza naming a population that has not entered into a social contract and retained it capacity for political self-determination and, after Hardt and Negri, resistance against global systems of power. The journal offers the following description: “The concept of “multitudes” refers to the immanence of subjectivities (rather than “identities”) acting in opposition to established power structures and mapping the way for new futures.’ [2] This section draws on my “Speed, Power and the Physics of Finance Capital” http://www.wpfdc.org/blog/economics/18793-speed-power-and-the-physics-of-finance-capitalism [3] See http://advancedtrading.com/algorithms/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=218401501 .
