Following this controversial line of thought we come to realize that we are living in a sort of 'Matrix' world, filled with imaginary free markets and non-existent liberalisms. Andrea Micocci manages to use his deep knowledge of various subjects and vast erudition skillfully: instead of making them a burden on the reader, he uses them to create the needed suspense, pushing us to devour page after page. The Metaphysics of Capitalism is undoubtedly a timely book. -- Mino Vianello, University of Rome\u003cbr\u003eBrief synopsis of book and quick biography of authorrrrr * Journal of Economic Literature, December, 2009 *\u003cbr\u003eAndrea Micocci reinterprets materialist philosophy and Marxist critique of political economy in a provocative synthesis that commands the most serious attention from anyone worried about the increasingly disastrous world capitalism has made. -- Alex Callinicos, King's College, London\u003cbr\u003eBrief synopsis of book and quick biography of author * Journal of Economic Literature, December, 2009 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Foreword and Acknowledgments Chapter 2 1.
