Power & society · A BOOK PROPOSAL
The Small Print Runs the World
How defaults, standards, and contracts quietly govern everyday life
This proposed book would make the less visible machinery of power legible through familiar situations. It would examine how a default setting, technical standard, form, contract term, or eligibility rule can shape choices before anyone has a public argument. Readers would learn to ask who set a rule, who can change it, who bears its costs, and what alternatives were excluded. The book would connect ordinary administrative friction with larger questions about accountability and participation.
