Another review is in for CURRENCY OF NIHILISM. Thanks to @TCSjournalSAGE and Fabien Muller for his thoughtful engagement with the book (and for bringing back “Kapitalmystifikation”). Read his full review below.
Latest book review: read Fabien Muller's review of Aman Samman's 'Currency of Nihilism' - offers a pessimistic diagnosis of modern finance, and combines political economy with philosophy. theoryculturesociety.org/blo…
“Currency of Nihilism provides a masterful illustration of a chronic sickness in finance. It is ... a scream of negation.”
Thanks to Chris Rogers for his thoughtful review of my book.

For readers interested in philosophy and the history of capitalism, Currency of Nihilism offers an unsettling perspective on the nihilistic structures of feeling that underwrite the contemporary financial system.

I agree! one of the best conferences I've ever gone to, a warm and friendly bunch of amazing scholars.
I had a chance to comment on @keanbirch's great new book Data Enclaves. Highly recommended!
