Mumford’s megamachine can be read as a historical figuration of Althusser’s mode of production: a structured arrangement of productive forces, relations of production, and ideological superstructures aimed at the centralized control of vital flows. “Mode of production” remains the more general concept; “megamachine” names the concrete techno-political form it takes in specific historical contexts. #philosophy #policalPhilosophy #megamachine #modeOfProduction
