Exocapitalism

Economies With Absolutely No Limits

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Capitalism does not belong to humans. Despite an apparent addiction to our sweat and blood, capitalism wants nothing to do with us-it has even spent the last 10,000 years attempting to break away entirely. This book provides a massively-scaled reading of the history of capitalism through the present, a reading which dispels any illusions of our contemporary moment as anything but a blip in a long, autonomous trajectory. As Charles Mudede suggests in the foreword, we haven't really seen a theory of capitalism like this yet. You can find some roots in a distant reading of Jean Baudrillard, or in the emancipatory projects of Silvia Federici and Frantz Fanon, or in the writings of Suhail Malik and Elena Esposito - but it remains a theory-mutant phrogging inside an AWS data center, a troglodyte who assembled its peculiar understanding of the world through Salesforce play-to-earn gaming, and high-frequency trading. Throughout the book, the authors develop three major concepts-fold, lift, and drag - which together offer a kind of emergency tool-kit with which a reader might better navigate our ever-enstrangening world. This first edition includes a foreword by Charles Mudede, an afterword by Alex Quicho, and a series of illustrations by Avocado Ibuprofen.
