Reviews

Global Libidinal Economy is a game changer. This highly innovative and accessible book deserves to be read widely and carefully by scholars of global political economy and global development to better understand the role of unconscious desire in shaping our world. - Susanne Soederberg, author of Urban Displacements: Governing Surplus and Survival in Global Capitalism This book is groundbreaking, the first full-length volume to employ a psychoanalytic approach to global political economy. Providing concrete empirical cases and written in an accessible manner, it marks a significant advancement over previous efforts at developing a libidinal political economy perspective. - Earl Gammon, Senior Lecturer in Global Political Economy, University of Sussex Global Libidinal Economy provides a synoptic account of the desires and drives that animate contemporary capitalism. By crossing the coordinates of Lacanian-Marxism with key categories in the field of International Political Economy, the authors expose the seedy underside of economic life in a range of everyday settings that span the globe. The results are illuminating, unsettling, irresistible. - Amin Samman, author of History in Financial Times
