Bg anon said...: Eric a question for you. I'm sure you've heard the expression 'technology of power'.

Apparantly its an East European thing... see:

Anyway what is the closest English word that one can use to substitute the expression - or should I try to pollute the English language with these 'new' words instead?; 1/2/07 20:45
Eric Gordy said...: "Technology of power" -- the first time I encountered the phrase was in the first book by Slavoljub Djukic, "Slom srpskih liberala." I've never seen it in English. "Political strategy" would seem to do the trick in most cases, but it is less dramatic sounding.; 26/2/07 02:46
