About this product
Product Information
Indebtedness as the universal condition of modern life The credit crisis has pushed the whole world so far into the red that the gigantic sums involved defy understanding. On a human level, what does such an enormous degree of debt and insolvency mean? In this timely book, cultural critic Richard Dienst considers the financial crisis, global poverty, media politics and radical theory to parse the various implications of a world where man is born free but everywhere is in debt. Written with humor and verve, Bonds of Debt ranges across subjects--such as Obama's national security strategy, the architecture of Prada stores, press photos of Bono, and a fairy tale told by Karl Marx--to capture a modern condition founded on fiscal imprudence. Moving beyond the dominant pieties and widespread anxieties surrounding the topic, Dienst re-conceives the world's massive financial obligations as a social, economic, and political bond, where the crushing weight of objectified wealth comes face to face with new demands for equality and solidarity. For this inspired analysis, we are indebted to him.

Reviews
"[An] astute portrait of the recession ... on one rich canvas."-Nick March, The National "[A] smart and easily understood book ... Dienst has a new and thrilling idea ... debt is exactly what bonds us and makes our kind of sociality possible."-Charles Mudede, Stranger "The most original thing about Dienst's reading of debt, a reading that is very close to the truth, is that it locates it at the very center of human sociality."- Slog "Dienst throws new light on what it means for humanity to be tied up in the golden skeins of debt: we're only now realizing what a huge change to human life, psychology and the fabric of everyday experience is involved in the creation of a financialized economy."-Paul Mason, author of Meltdown: The End of the Age of Greed "Richard Dienst's most radical proposition in this wonderfully clear and provocative little book is that we are burdened not by too much debt but by too little. Yes, we must discover ways to refuse and escape the regime of debt to the figures of power and institutions that rule over us, but we must also, and perhaps more importantly, recognize indebtedness as a basic human condition and create social ties that at once bind us to each other and free us. The combination of these two tasks is an exciting, even revolutionary, project."-Michael Hardt, co-author of Empire , Multitude , and Commonwealth "I spend my life studying the financial markets and I often wonder what it all 'means.' Dienst takes up that question in a thoroughly admirable way in this book. And as a bonus, it also includes a wonderful takedown of the odious Bono."-Doug Henwood, Left Business Observer "Holds up debt as a hopeful idiom of identification through which we might build a new radical politics ... an eminently readable collection of essays deserving of a large audience."-Mark Kear, Society and Space

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
