From Semiotext(e):
Hatred of Capitalism
A Semiotext(e) Reader
Edited by Chris Kraus and Sylvère Lotringer
Compiled in 2001 to commemorate the passing of an era, Hatred of Capitalism brings together highlights of Semiotext(e)'s most beloved and prescient works. Semiotext(e)'s three-decade history mirrors the history of American thought. Founded by French theorist and critic Sylvere Lotringer as a scholarly journal in 1974, Semiotext(e) quickly took on the mission of melding French theory with the American art world and punk underground. Its Foreign Agents, Native Agents, Active Agents and Double Agents imprints have brought together thinkers and writers as diverse as Gilles Deleuze, Assata Shakur, Bob Flanagan, Paul Virillio, Kate Millet, Jean Baudrillard, Michelle Tea, William S. Burroughs, Eileen Myles, Ulrike Meinhof, and Fanny Howe. In Hatred of Capitalism, editors Kraus and Lotringer bring these people together in the same volume for the first time.

| "Slyly compiled, this anthology brings together fiction, narrative, philosophy, and critical theory without imposing a hierarchy among genres."

| "Semiotext(e) has consistently probed the intersection points between high theory and art and life in America. Publishing both French theory and American first-person fiction, Semiotext(e) invents a new plateau of thought which is dizzyingly complex and deeply subjective. Their work is resolutely difficult, dense, exhilarating and defiant, at once responsible to the past and bravely forward looking."
—Avital Ronell
"Hatred of Capitalism proposes a certain kind of freedom, which may involve unlearning as much as learning, dying as much as living—and which is characterized by an enlarged and even exalted sense of the possible."
—Robert Gluck, Bookforum
"Semiotext(e)'s strange tomorrow is our strange today."
—Joshua Clover, Village Voice
