- Summary:
- "To Live and Think Like Pigs is both an uproarious portrait of the evils of the new world order, and a technical manual for its innermost ideological workings. Châtelet's diagnosis of the 'neoliberal counter-reformation' is a significant moment in French political philosophy worthy to stand alongside Deleuze's 'Control Society' and Foucault's 'liberal governmentality'. His book is crucial reading for any future politics that wants to replace individualism with an understanding of individuation, libertarianism with liberation, liquidity with plasticity, and the statistical average with the singular exception. Its appearance in translation is an important new contribution to contemporary debate on neoliberalism, economics and capitalist subjectivation."-- provided by distributor.
