Can one explain the power of global capitalism without attributing to capital a logic and coherence it does not have? Can one account for the powers of techno-science in terms that do not merely reproduce its own understanding of the world?
Rule of Experts examines these questions through a series of interrelated essays focused on Egypt in the twentieth century. These explore the way malaria, sugar cane, war, and nationalism interacted to produce the techno-politics of the modern Egyptian state; the forms of debt, discipline, and violence that founded the institution of private property; the methods of measurement, circulation, and exchange that produced the novel idea of a national "economy," yet made its accurate representation impossible; the stereotypes and plagiarisms that created the scholarly image of the Egyptian peasant; and the interaction of social logics, horticultural imperatives, powers of desire, and political forces that turned programs of economic reform in unanticipated directions.
Mitchell is a widely known political theorist and one of the most innovative writers on the Middle East. He provides a rich examination of the forms of reason, power, and expertise that characterize contemporary politics. Together, these intellectually provocative essays will challenge a broad spectrum of readers to think harder, more critically, and more politically about history, power, and theory.

写作风格有点奇怪，不是玄或模糊，而是经常跳来跳去的…不过内容分析非常好看，先看前三章，剩下的等考field再说……
评分Ch 1-3
评分发展课粗读过，以后有机会要重读。
评分前三章过了两遍，前两章过了三遍。不愧是社科才子，章章拎出来都是有极其独立的体系和内部逻辑，但整体完成度特别高。读一遍的时候不以为然（本科懂什么），研究生和博士再读的时候只想说WTF，太聪明了。以及再次感叹下我本科读过这么牛的书但我这个猪脑子完全不吸收啊。
评分这本比《殖民埃及》更从容
