The Discourses of Capitalism

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Based on his own life history and embodied praxis, Christian Chun offers us a rare authentic voice in this powerful yet sensitive study of how Americans discursively turn capitalism into common sense. Oscillating between Marxian theory and observations of contemporary events and employing innovative research tactics, this study can serve as a model for mature critical inquiry." Jan Blommaert, Tilburg University, The Netherlands

"Christian Chun's work contributes significantly to growing criticism of the stale, ossified rationalization of the capitalist status-quo that comprises so much of contemporary economics and presents itself as a science above partisan ideologies. Important reading for any serious engagement with modern economics." Richard D. Wolff, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA "Based on his own life history and embodied praxis, Christian Chun offers us a rare authentic voice in this powerful yet sensitive study of how Americans discursively turn capitalism into common sense.
