Rackets

The book "Rackets" by Thorsten Fuchshuber offers an in-depth analysis of the racket theory developed by Max Horkheimer. It is regarded as a dialectical-anthropological fundamental form of domination and aims to identify the societal tendencies associated with the increasing organic composition of capital. Originally conceived as a critique of National Socialism, the work highlights the destruction of social mediation instances and reflects on the loss of the autonomy of law in bourgeois societies. Fuchshuber presents the racket theory as a document of independent theory that discusses the political implications of capital-shaped socialization in the post-liberal phase. Despite its ambitions, the racket theory remains a fragment that is thoroughly examined in this comprehensive work.
