- Summary
- Why do people work for other people? This seemingly naive question is at the heart of Frédéric Lordon's argument. To complement Marx's partial answers, especially in the face of the disconcerting spectacle of the engaged, enthusiastic employee, Lordon brings to bear a 'Spinozist anthropology' that reveals the fundamental role of affects and passions in the employment relationship, reconceptualising capitalist exploitation as the capture and remolding of desire.
