He is the author of numerous books on German idealism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, science, and politics.This book radically reinvents psychoanalytic Marxism. Johnston accomplishes nothing less than the first full-fledged theoretical synthesis of political and libidinal economies. His erudition, clarity, and rigor make <i>Infinite Greed</i> a joy to read. It is guaranteed to become an instant classic for all those invested in Marxism and psychoanalysis, right up there with the likes of Herbert Marcuse’s <i>Eros and Civilization</i> and Louis Althusser’s <i>Writings on Psychoanalysis</i>.
- Slavoj Žižek,
Those who bring together Marxism and psychoanalysis for a critique of capitalism typically confine themselves to culture and aesthetics. They don’t discuss economics. Adrian Johnston’s remarkable book offers a remedy for this lacuna. In a stunning breakthrough, he shows that a new combination of Marxism and psychoanalysis can provide a completely new economic foundation for understanding how capitalism works. <i>Infinite Greed </i>is immediately irreplaceable.
- Todd McGowan, author of <i>Embracing Alienation</i>,
Adrian Johnston’s <i>Infinite Greed </i>is nothing short of a classic. This is not just another book trying to combine psychoanalysis with Marxism but the book on the topic, after which nothing will be the same. A necessary philosophical-political-conceptual apparatus for our predicament and a must-read.
- Agon Hamza, coauthor of <i>Reading Hegel</i>,
[<i>Infinite Greed</i>] is written in [an] accessible style and is equally instructive about its subject matter.
