In search of an answer, The Nature and Logic of Capitalism takes us on
a far-ranging exploration to the unconscious levels of the human psyche
and the roots of domination and submission; to the organization of
primitive society and the origins of wealth; to the sources of profit
and the conception of a "regime" of capital; to the interplay of
relatively slow-changing institutions and the powerful force of the
accumulation of wealth. By the end of this tour we have grappled not
only with ideas of Adam Smith and Karl Marx but with Freud and modern
anthropologists as well. And we are far closer to understanding
capitalism in our time, its possibilities and limits.
