Description
Acceleration, Revolution and Money in Deleuze and Guattari’s Anti-Oedipus by Obsolete Capitalism is a critical exploration of the economic and political implications of Anti-Oedipus, the first volume of Capitalism and Schizophrenia by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The book examines how Deleuze and Guattari's ideas intersect with contemporary theories of accelerationism, financial capitalism, and revolutionary politics. It delves into their analysis of capitalism as a schizophrenic system that both deterritorializes and reterritorializes desire, producing a paradoxical relationship between liberation and control. The work explores the role of money as a key agent in this process, highlighting how financial flows shape and disrupt social structures. Engaging with concepts such as desiring-production, deterritorialization, and the machinic unconscious, Obsolete Capitalism critically assesses whether Deleuze and Guattari’s radical critique can provide insights into modern capitalist crises and potential revolutionary alternatives. This text is particularly relevant for those interested in philosophy, political economy, and post-structuralist critiques of capitalism.
