权力是以大一统为特征的传统专制社会的第一商品,具有一般等价物的特征;它的交换价值即它所支配的所有资源的使用价值;权力商品的生产分为两部分:合法性象征的生产和符号体系的生产;权力买卖者之间的关系是经济人之间的博弈;腐败不仅是必然的,而且是必要的,腐败是皇帝为了得到“忠心”必需付出的代价。 Power is the first commodity of a traditional authoritarian society characterized by unification and has the characteristics of a general equivalent; its exchange value is the use value of all resources it dominates; the production of power commodities is divided into two parts: the symbol of legitimacy Production and the production of a symbology; the relationship between power buyers and sellers is a game between economic people; corruption is not only necessary but also necessary. Corruption is the price that must be paid by the Emperor in order to obtain “loyalty.”
