The Power at the End of the Economy

"Behavioral economists who study the psychology of decision making should engage this study of potential, virtual, and kinetic emotions, given that emotions are what move people to action. Going beyond Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's Commonwealth and Timothy Wilson's Strangers to Ourselves, this is a book for those interested in cultural theory. ... Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals." - K. Tölölyan (Choice) "... powerful and convincing in its theoretically innovative, productive intertwining of political philosophy, cognitive psychology and Luhmann's systems theory." - Hannah Richter (Constructivist Foundations) "Massumi's interventions regarding affect, neoliberalism, and politics are undoubtedly original, and provocative. The book pierces to the heart of the neoliberalism's most basic premises about rationality, self-interest, and economic behavior." - Anita Chari (Theory & Event)
