Author Description

Product Description "A history of Capital, like a history of religion, reflects little more than the current fashion in historical time. A metaphysics of Capital, derived from the preponderance of a capitalizing bare life, supports the idea that Capital has no birth, but is eternally complicit with life, the only variance being, the way in which we define Capital. Capital, that is, the coining of the term--is not synonymous with its inception, or more saliently, there is no immaculate conception of Capital. Like the genetic Code, our identification of it did not make it so; make it exist, as it were. Evidently, unlike God, the Code preceded our conception of it. Ironically, like God, the Code must capitalize upon an environment in order to survive. In other words, Capital is a currency of the Code" Review...there is important work being done in the pages of The Metaphysics of Capital...Ruiz's work promises to stimulate some rarely used taste buds, bringing an almost mystical and epic flavor to the story of capital. --Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies About the Author Nicholas Ruiz III was born in New York City in 1970.
