Frédéric Lordon is one of the most audacious contemporary left-wing economists.»

«Praise for Willing Slaves of Capital:

Lordon effectively and brilliantly demonstrates that Spinoza is less a precursor to Marx than a necessary complement. Only Spinoza's examination of the production of desire can answer the question that is at the core of Marxism: Why do workers work for capital rather than their own liberation?»

Jason Read, University of Southern Maine

«Praise for Willing Slaves of Capital:

At a time when all workers are required to show 'passion' for their jobs, Willing Slaves of Capital is a crucial re-affirmation of the importance of Spinoza's philosophy for understanding contemporary forms of servitude. Lordon persuasively and elegantly shows that the only way to break free is to hold onto a cold and exceptionless determinism: hope is pointless, regret is meaningless, yet change can still be made to happen.»

Mark Fisher, author of Capitalist Realism
