Sommario/riassunto

"The Capitalist Schema" uses marxist philosophy to explain how money frames all social relations in our capitalist world and how money regulates and conditions social references to past and future social life. Consequently, modern life becomes ever more abstract and levelled, and all human desire becomes channelled towards profit and making money.
