Abstract

In Du Discours Psychanalytique Lacan seems to argue that the discourse of the master produces the discourse of the capitalist, or at least, he implies that the discourse of the capitalist is produced by a warping of the discourse of the master. In the discourse of capitalism the terms of the left antipode of the discourse of the master are reversed.
