Capitalist Sorcery Breaking the Spell

An English translation ofLa Sorcellerie Capitaliste -a passionate but pragmatic critique in political philosophy. It diagnoses capitalism as a 'system of sorcery without sorcerers'. Capitalism paralyses us in ways that resembles sorcery and the book is concerned to look at ways we might defend ourselves against such a system.
