About this product
Product Information
Why do people work for other people? This seemingly naive question is at the heart of Lordon's argument. To complement Marx's partial answers, especially in the face of the disconcerting spectacle of the engaged, enthusiastic employee, Lordon brings to bear a "Spinozist anthropology" that reveals the fundamental role of affects and passions in the employment relationship, reconceptualizing capitalist exploitation as the capture and remolding of desire. A thoroughly materialist reading of Spinoza's Ethics allows Lordon to debunk all notions of individual autonomy and self-determination while simultaneously saving the ideas of political freedom and liberation from capitalist exploitation. Willing Slaves of Capital is a bold proposal to rethink capitalism and its transcendence on the basis of the contemporary experience of work.

Reviews
"At a time when all workers are required to show "passion" for their jobs, Willing Slaves of Capital is a crucial re-affirmation of the importance of Spinoza's philosophy for understanding contemporary forms of servitude. Lordon persuasively and elegantly shows that the only way to break free is to hold onto a cold and exceptionless determinism: hope is pointless, regret is meaningless, yet change can still be made to happen." --Mark Fisher, author of Capitalist Realism "Lordon effectively and brilliantly demonstrates that Spinoza is less a precursor to Marx than a necessary complement. Only Spinoza's examination of the production of desire can answer the question that is at the core of Marxism: Why do workers work for capital rather than their own liberation?" --Jason Read, University of Southern Maine "This ambitious but always lucid book aims to reopen the conceptual framework of capitalism."-- Le Monde "This work is an initiatory voyage towards communism ... a horizon that has to be sought with perseverance rather than a definitively achieved state."-- L'Humanit "Frdric Lordon is one of the most audacious contemporary left-wing economists."-- Le Nouvel Observateur, "This ambitious but always lucid book aims to reopen the conceptual framework of capitalism."- Le Monde "This work is an initiatory voyage towards communism … a horizon that has to be sought with perseverance rather than a definitively achieved state."- L'Humanité "Frédéric Lordon is one of the most audacious contemporary left-wing economists."- Le Nouvel Observateur, "At a time when all workers are required to show "passion" for their jobs, Willing Slaves of Capital is a crucial re-affirmation of the importance of Spinoza's philosophy for understanding contemporary forms of servitude.

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!
