Anti Oidipus by Gilles Deleuze

Capitalism and Schizophrenia

This groundbreaking work challenges traditional psychoanalytic theories by exploring the intersections of desire, capitalism, and social structures. It critiques the Oedipal model, proposing instead a concept of "schizoanalysis" that emphasizes the fluidity and multiplicity of desires beyond familial constraints. The text delves into how societal systems, particularly capitalism, shape and channel desires, often leading to repression and conformity. Through a radical rethinking of desire as a productive force, it offers a new lens for understanding human behavior and societal dynamics, advocating for liberation from oppressive structures.
