Description: The essays of Italian cultural critic, social theorist and philosopher Alberto Toscano gathered here make up for the aesthetics of the economy, a subject that, although it is presented to us as a specific problem of life under the mode of capitalist production, is rarely discussed by the critical theory, let alone by the academy and the curatorship of contemporary art. "In dialogue with artists and technicians in some way linked to the Marxist tradition, Toscano delimits a field of problems related to the visualization of the world produced by capital. This complex vision is necessary to articulate at least three questions that these essays deal with: This complex vision is necessary to articulate at least three questions that these essays deal with: How to account for the abstract operability of capital? How to name our historical era? and How to figure another social organization that exceeds the currently existing coordinates? Note that the emphasis on how it already places us in the field of method, which excludes any pretense for aseptically describing an object -capitalism- whose distinctiveness with respect to all old social relationships is its ability to move towards an increasingly abstract and inaccessible dimension."
