"Toscano delimits a field of problems related to the visualization of the world produced by capital. This complex vision is necessary to articulate at least three questions that these essays address: how to account for the abstract operation of capital? How to name our historical epoch? And how to figure another social organization that exceeds the currently existing coordinates? Let us note that the emphasis on the "how" already places us in the terrain of method, which excludes any attempt to aseptically describe an object—capitalism—whose distinctive character with respect to all old social relations is its capacity to shift toward an increasingly abstract and elusive dimension."
