Debt Slavery eBook

Isn''t debt ultimately more of a philosophical concept than a financial one? Indeed, it is seen as a moral fault whose unbridled demands cannot be met. It is repaid by a submission that has become infinite and a vision of work that has been totally deregulated. We are no longer in the age of masters and slaves. We need, as this insightful book shows, to identify new protagonists—no longer bourgeois or proletarians, but new players operating through computerized exchange networks, virtual transaction robots. Such is the fate of speculation, with its dematerialized share-price, worsening debt while evading the scrutiny of the law.Jean-Clet Martin, former program director at the Collège international de philosophie, is the author of numerous books on contemporary thought, including Derrida: un démantèlement de l’Occident and Comprendre Foucault, published by Max Milo.
