Kanaillen-Kapitalismus

After the publication of his essay "Sociophobia," the taz wrote that César Rendueles combines an anti-capitalist stance with a clear understanding of the complexity of societies. His knowledge of how the world looked before the free market economy and how economic logic has gradually permeated all areas of life also stems from reading fictional literature. In his new book, Rendueles explores his personal reading biography. Using classics like "Robinson Crusoe" and cult books like "American Psycho," he traces how capitalism has absorbed us. However, at the same time, books can also contain the spirit of revolt and solidarity utopias, as Rendueles illustrates with examples from Kleist's "Michael Kohlhaas" and science fiction novels.
