General responses the politics of the financial crisis
So far, the illustrative example in this chapter has examined finance and the financial crisis as a way of looking at the relation between everyday life and politics. And we’ve seen that, to the extent that the financial crisis is a technically complex problem beyond the comprehension of ordinary people in their everyday lives, ‘global politics’ feel like a remote, ‘higher’ level for the ‘art and science of government’ to take place’ while everyday life appears as the space where unanticipated disruptions to the smooth operations of finance occurred and not as a space for politics.
