Infinite Greed

Todd McGowan, author of Embracing Alienation:
Those who bring together Marxism and psychoanalysis for a critique of capitalism typically confine themselves to culture and aesthetics. They don’t discuss economics. Adrian Johnston’s remarkable book offers a remedy for this lacuna. In a stunning breakthrough, he shows that a new combination of Marxism and psychoanalysis can provide a completely new economic foundation for understanding how capitalism works. Infinite Greed is immediately irreplaceable.

Slavoj Žižek:
This book radically reinvents psychoanalytic Marxism. Johnston accomplishes nothing less than the first full-fledged theoretical synthesis of political and libidinal economies. His erudition, clarity, and rigor make Infinite Greed a joy to read. It is guaranteed to become an instant classic for all those invested in Marxism and psychoanalysis, right up there with the likes of Herbert Marcuse’s Eros and Civilization and Louis Althusser’s Writings on Psychoanalysis.
