Trade Review
"An impressive and even exciting collection by a formidable group of scholars, and very topical as well. With essays on conspiracy theories, money, capital, rumors, and the very notion of objectivity all of the essays show how the intersection of psychoanalysis and Marxism leads to rich and surprising insights." -Ed Pluth, California State University
