The concepts that organize our thinking wield, by virtue of this
fact, a great deal of political power. This book looks at five
concepts whose dominion has increased, steadily, during the
bourgeois period of modernity: Labor, Time, Property, Value, and
Crisis. These ruling ideas are central not only to many academic
disciplines- from philosophy and law to the political, social, and
economic sciences- but also to everyday life. These ruling ideas
explain the cultural attitudes of boredom and multitasking,
revealing the inescapable internalized consciousness of time that
has become a mode of political domination. They also explain the
terrifying environmental problem of privatized property in water
and the terrifying humanitarian problem of privatized property in
human bodies and body parts. Finally, they explain the affective
dimensions of the housing crisis, and especially why capitalism
cultivates the desire to own a home that is beyond one's means.
