My new book Currency of Nihilism is officially out today! In it, I develop a history and theory of financial nihilism that speaks directly to the ongoing merger of digital technology with finance. Use the code SAMMAN20 for 20% off: www.sup.org/books/politi... mngbookshop.co.uk/978150364586...
For readers interested in philosophy and the history of capitalism, Currency of Nihilism by Amin Samman offers an unsettling perspective on the nihilistic structures of feeling that underwrite the contemporary financial system. https://ow.ly/EPfe50YxSr0 #ReadUP
