{"product_id":"of-synthetic-finance-benjamin-lozano-9781138790841","title":"Of Synthetic Finance: Three Essays of Speculative Materialism","description":"\u003cp\u003eSynthetic finance revolutionizes materialism such that we can now create wealth in the process of universally distributing it. While financial innovation in global capitalism provided the conditions for the 2008 financial crisis, it has also engineered a set of financial technologies with universal distributive potential. This book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eexplains this possibility and\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates how it can be achieved through a rigorous ontological exposition of the radical, nomadic, distributive power of synthetic finance. It also illustrates that Gilles Deleuze is the heterodox political economist who best reveals its profound material capacities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book articulates an innovative method for the study of finance, fundamentally revaluates political economy as a discipline and practice, and inaugurates a research project from which derivative methodologies and approaches to critical finance can evolve. Of Synthetic Finance actualizes a new kind of heterodox political economy called speculative materialism, and advocates a radical project of speculative materialist financial engineering. Both of these are predicated on the deployment of the latent, nomadic, monstrous capacities of synthetic finance to create and universally distribute risk and cash flow. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a must read for anyone interested in critical finance, the financial crisis and the future of political economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Lozano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138790842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138790841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Benjamin Lozano","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087772496127,"sku":"9781138790841","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c1b6431-7ff6-4448-aef2-a2c81ec8d357.jpg?v=1769101318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-synthetic-finance-benjamin-lozano-9781138790841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
