Homo Oeconomicus Glorificatus

Homo Oeconomicus Glorificatus Here the economic man is rendered through a perverted iconography of resurrection, akin to Christ Pantocrator. But the halo is exchange value, and transcendence is accumulation. The figure can be read through Foucault's concept of power or Agamben's analysis of sovereignty: the power is total, yet hollow. It can no longer save — only administer.
