{"product_id":"clickbait-capitalism-amin-samman-9781526168160","title":"Clickbait Capitalism: Economies of Desire in the Twenty-First Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe notion of 'clickbait' speaks to the intersection of money, technology, and desire, suggesting a cunning ruse to profit from unsavoury inclinations of one kind or another. Clickbait capitalism pursues the idea that the entire contemporary economy is just such a ruse; an elaborate exercise in psychological capture and release. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePushing beyond rationalist accounts of economic life, this volume puts psychoanalysis and political economy into conversation with the cutting edges of capitalist development. Perennial questions of death, sex, aggression, enjoyment, despair, hope, and revenge are followed onto the terrain of the contemporary, with chapters devoted to social media, online dating apps, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and meme stocks. The result is a unique and compelling portrait of the latest institutions to stage, channel, or reconfigure the psychic energies of political and economic life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amin Samman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526168162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526168160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Amin Samman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45477001462015,"sku":"9781526168160","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7542943-2f25-4deb-880b-25ef773d5679.jpg?v=1715918775","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/clickbait-capitalism-amin-samman-9781526168160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
