The author contests the prevailing view that Nietzsche has nothing, or nothing of consequence, to say on the subject of political economy. He introduces Nietzsche as a critical thinker, whose varied and complex insight resonates with undiminished pertinence today. Examination of his views on debt, slavery, and the division of labor outlines Nietzsche’s comprehensive critique of the political economy of industrial culture and its unfolding crisis. By rendering ‘old problems unfinished’, Nietzsche constructs a distinctive frame of reference to examine the value of industrial culture’s values. This approach provides a powerful intellectual lens, currently missing from the academic discussion on the aforementioned issues, for examining the broader conversation concerning humankind’s development, its strategic objectives, and the stewardship of an increasingly global political economy.weiterlesen
