Recenzje

"This is an exciting exploration of the logic of information capitalism as the economics of information and finance merge and give rise to a new economization of governance and social control."Wolfgang Streeck, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne"How the hell did we arrive at the dire predicament we are in? I can think of no other book that would provide such a succinct and lucid answer, taking into account the intertwining complexities of the last decades. It's like a perfect horror story, describing a reality surpassing any fiction, the one we happen to be living in."Mladen Dolar, University of Ljubljana"Capital and Ressentiment offers a thorough and complex approach to some of the most prescient issues of our contemporary condition. It displays a remarkable command of different bodies of literature, put together in an innovative manner that manages to connect seemingly disparate phenomena."Journal of Cultural Economy
