Mummified Political Economy: Institutional Gaps

The Mummy begins with Evelyn rescuing Rick from a death sentence that seems as arbitrary in how the law is delivered as in how it is undone. All Evleyn needs to do, apparently, is name the right price to buy someone out of jail – or an execution. Although this works out for Rick, Evelyn, and Jonathan, one is left wondering about the people who cannot buy their way out of an arbitrary incarceration and execution, as well as those who can.” (09/20/24)
