Reviews
Capital comes alive in this book...there is important work being
done in the pages of The Metaphysics of Capital...Ruiz's
work promises to stimulate some rarely used taste buds, bringing an
almost mystical and epic flavor to the story of capital. --The
Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies
Building
upon Jacques Derrida's "Structure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of
the Human Sciences" (1966) and Jean Baudrillard's "metaphysics of
the code" in Symbolic Exchange and Death (1976), Ruiz
explores the signification of capital as a metaphysical construct,
resulting in some astonishing conclusions. --@OrlandoCurrents

Description
"I
see Capital and Code as rendering a duality, interlocking as an
objective fundamental protocol, out of which arises a subjective
metaphysics....Pierre Klossowski would say we're 'the living
currency,' and that's close to the mark, but I'd say, in
other words, that Capital is a currency of the Code."
