Postwar socialized risk paradigms emerged from the speculative imagination’s quest for autonomy

Evidence

But to enact a speculative imagination is also to step into a collective quest for resources that would allow homo speculans to navigate this path autonomously, and this quest has always been an uphill battle. The emergence of the postwar era’s socialized risk paradigms can be seen as an outcome of this ongoing struggle of the speculative imagination to respond to the question of collective autonomy. My foregoing analysis attests to these possibilities of the speculative imagination in political economy. — Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou, Speculative Communities, 161
