The state now sorts citizens into lauded risk-takers and abject at-risk populations

Evidence

As Martin notes, and as we saw in Chapter 2, today’s securitized logic of governmentality sees state power increasingly separate society into, on the one hand, lauded “risk-takers,” modelled on high-rolling Wall Street Übermenschen, and, on the other, the abject “at risk” (“welfare queens,” poor youth, the racialized and ghettoized) in need of intervention lest they threaten the risk management of everyone else in what used to be known as society (Martin 2007, 37). — Max Haiven, Cultures of Financialization, 266
