Drawing on Friedrich Nietzsche, E.M. Cioran, and Jean Baudrillard, this book shows how the latest trends in digital finance restage the dilemmas of nihilism in new ways. From cryptocurrencies and meme stocks to Silicon Valley venture capital and the global boom in artificial intelligence, economic life today thrives on the ambiguous allure of nothingness, annihilation, and disappearance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSamman brings the financial status of contemporary nihilism into focus, connecting its signal moods and sentiments to the system-logics of world finance. All the historical moods of nihilism now circulate through the financial system, he argues, and each further wave of technological advance provides yet more means of speculating on these moods. The result is a lucrative new culture of financial nihilism with no end in sight. For readers interested in philosophy and the history of capitalism, \u003ci\u003eCurrency of Nihilism\u003c\/i\u003e offers an unsettling perspective on the nihilistic structures of feeling that underwrite the contemporary financial system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amin Samman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150364586X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503645868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Amin Samman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47203257647359,"sku":"9781503645868","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e3048525-b86d-4087-a3ca-f2ba9efd95ff.jpg?v=1756834820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/currency-of-nihilism-amin-samman-9781503645868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
