«El estilo del mundo: La vida en el capitalismo de ficción» is the essay by Vicente Verdú, published by Anagrama in hardback (304 pages, in Spanish).
An essay that investigates contemporary capitalism and its way of exercising power: instead of dominating by force, it seduces and creates a parallel reality, a kind of fiction. For Verdú, capitalism has become gaseous and omnipresent, difficult to locate and combat; its goal is no longer to manufacture goods, but to sustain a great pastime that empties life of project and meaning.
Volume 300 of Anagrama's Argumentos collection. The work originally appeared in 2003; this hardback edition was published on 18 April 2006.
It is appropriate reading for those interested in the essay, sociology, and critical analysis of capitalism and contemporary culture.
Vicente Verdú was a Spanish writer, journalist and economist.
