[spectre] Lies, Lawlessness and Disbelief 1

[marc garrett]

Sorry for any cross posting...

Lies, Lawlessness and Disbelief 1. Thinking Art and Capital: Conceptual 
Capitalism and Risk Management, is the first of five essays by Canadian 
artist & critical thinker, Katie McCain. McCain discusses how capitalism 
has become on the one hand all encompassing and on the other utterly 
unreal. Arguing that we need to be prepared to think the impossible so 
that resistance is able to grow.

"If it is permitted that both the universe and capitalism are 
contingent, and therefore completely indifferent to human existence and 
human thought, then the possibility for alternatives opens up."
