ABSTRACT
The forms of organisation on either side were fundamentally different. On the one side, these differences in organisation were articulated along lines of conformity to the traditional and corporate forms of authority and discipline; on the other, it was both an inner and outer struggle against subordination to these forms. There is something fragile about great power, particularly in a world of wars, protests, revolutions and likely environmental breakdowns, where the global rich are outnumbered by many millions to one. If utopian capitalism is a form of governance where all are free to pursue their interests, then certain organisational conditions must obtain. The accumulation of wealth by the potentially ‘sovereign individuals’ straddling sovereign domains has been aided in other domains by neoliberal demands for the privatisation of public sector organisations under the name of ‘efficiency’.
