Description
"A history of Capital, like a history of religion, reflects little
more than the current fashion in historical time. A metaphysics of Capital,
derived from the preponderance of a capitalizing bare life, supports the
idea that Capital has no birth, but is eternally complicit with life, the
only variance being, the way in which we define Capital. Capital, that is,
the coining of the term--is not synonymous with its inception, or more saliently,
there is no immaculate conception of Capital. Like the genetic Code, our
identification of it did not make it so; make it exist, as it were. Evidently,
unlike God, the Code preceded our conception of it. Ironically, like God,
the Code must capitalize upon an environment in order to survive. In other
words, Capital is a currency of the Code"
