Summary:

This book tries to bring together the work of Marx, Freud and Lacan.It does this not by enumerating what might stereotypically be considered to be the central theses of these authors and then proceeding to combine them - a method that is inevitably doomed to failure - but instead by confronting each one of their oeuvres with what might best be.
