Product Description
"A history of Capital, like a history of religion, reflects little more
than
the current fashion in historical time. A metaphysics of Capital,
derived from
the preponderance of a capitalizing bare life, supports the idea that
Capital
has no birth, but is eternally complicit with life, the only variance
being,
the way in which we define Capital. Capital, that is, the coining of the
term--is not synonymous with its inception, or more saliently, there is
no
immaculate conception of Capital. Like the genetic Code, our
identification of
it did not make it so; make it exist, as it were. Evidently, unlike God,
the
Code preceded our conception of it. Ironically, like God, the Code must
capitalize upon an environment in order to survive. In other words,
Capital is
a currency of the Code"
