Of Synthetic Finance

Three Essays of Speculative Materialism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Synthetic finance revolutionizes materialism such that we can now create wealth in the process of universally distributing it. While financial innovation in global capitalism provided the conditions for the 2008 financial crisis, it has also engineered a set of financial technologies with universal distributive potential. This book explains this possibility and demonstrates how it can be achieved through the use of rigorous ontological exposition of the radical, nomadic and distributive power of synthetic finance. It also illustrates that Gilles Deleuze is the heterodox political economist who best reveals its profound material capacities.
