Product Description
by P. Pignarre (Author), Andrew Goffey (Translator), I. Stengers (Author)
Capitalist Sorcery neither sets out a new political programme nor offers a new theory. Rather, it aims to encourage all those who are resistant to resignation and inertia, whose stories of partial successes must be told, celebrated and shared.
