"There is no longer any depth, no longer any subtext either. The entire history of economic life is pushed up to the surface, leaving nothing behind for it to hide. It is this profound superficiality that now rules."
What is the relation between obscenity and the financial? I take up this question in my new piece, inspired by Noam Yuran's recently published book on The Sexual Economy of Capitalism. Both should make for a titillating read!
