Life in the Empire
P. Schultz
May 20, 2013
Things are
not going well in the empire. Perhaps that is why I am currently rereading Deadly Paradigms by Michael Shafer, in
which Shafer argues that counterinsurgency, a part of what is called
“development theory,” which in turn is a part of the delusion that this thing
we call “modernity” is the inevitable and ultimately satisfying end point of
human history, has never worked as the theory claimed it should.
