Massumi’s analysis shows the potential for a new anti-capitalist politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Behavioral economists who study the psychology of decision making should engage this study of potential, virtual, and kinetic emotions, given that emotions are what move people to action.  Going beyond Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's \u003ci\u003eCommonwealth\u003c\/i\u003e and Timothy Wilson’s \u003ci\u003eStrangers to Ourselve\u003c\/i\u003es, this is a book for those interested in cultural theory. … Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.” -- K.

The book pierces to the heart of the neoliberalism’s most basic premises about rationality, self-interest, and economic behavior.\"  -- Anita Chari * Theory \u0026amp; Event *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
