Review of Rated Agency: Investee Politics in a Speculative Age by Michel Feher

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationBook/Film/Article review

Abstract

Michel Feher’s new book “Rated Agency: Investee Politics in a Speculative Age” offers
both critical evaluations and political discussions of the existing socio-economic theories about the
dynamics of capitalism in the past half-century and the possible alternative directions current
capitalism could take. Feher argues that whether we are a company in search of funding from
shareholders, an indebted public authority seeking bondholders, or an instrumentally precarious
individual in need of social benets, we would all be subject to the issue of accreditation and
indebtedness, in which being an investee is more appreciated in an age in which investors have
become all-powerful.
