This new English translation of Klossowski´s La Monnaie Vivante reintroduces an often overlooked but wonderfully creative French thinker, who had a decisive influence on philosophers such as Foucault, Lyotard, and Deleuze, to an English audience.
´I should have written you after my first reading of The Living Currency; it was already breath-taking and I should have responded. After reading it a few more times, I know it is the best book of our times.´
Letter to Pierre Klossowski from Michel Foucault, winter 1970.
Living Currency is the first English translation of Klossowski´s La monnaie vivante. It offers an analysis of economic production as a mechanism of psychic production of desires and is a key work from this often overlooked but wonderfully creative French thinker.
