Here, Simon advocates for the unreadymade, sentimental value andthe promise of the individual as a means for a vocabulary in this neweconomy of meaning. Reflecting on general intellect as labor and thesubjugation of an overqualified generation to the neo-feudal order ofdebt finance, Neomaterialism merges traditions of epic communismwith the communism that is already here.
