Summary:

Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou examines the ways that speculation has moved beyond financial markets to shape fundamental aspects of our social and political lives. For the author, 'to speculate' means increasingly 'to connect', to endorse the unknown pre-emptively, and often daringly, as a means of social survival.
