The accursed share : an essay on general economy : volume I : consumption

by Georges Bataille

This philosophical study proposes an economic theory based on excess rather than scarcity. It examines how societies manage surplus energy through economics, eroticism, and sovereignty, exploring the paradox of utility and the role of luxury in human civilisation.
