    "The gimmick lies latent in every made thing in capitalism, from the banana slicer to the cryptocurrency derivative to the readymade artwork that interprets itself. It includes both the painstakingly devised and the gratuitously disposable. It is what we call things when uncertain if they are over- or underperforming, if they are historically backward or just as problematically advanced, if they are wonders or tricks. With its promises about the saving of time; the reduction of labor; and the expansion of value, the gimmick gives us tantalizing glimpses of a world in which social life will no longer be organized by labor, but also of one regenerating the conditions that keep labor's social necessity in place. As Ngai takes us from the hoaxes of Edgar Allen Poe to artist Stan Douglas's interest in outmoded special effects, we begin to see how the aesthetic manipulation of the gimmick points to a much deeper exploitation. Against academic claims about Marx's value-labor theory's obsolescence, the gimmick reveals it as vibrantly alive in the realm of aesthetics"

    "The gimmick lies latent in every made thing in capitalism, from the banana slicer to the cryptocurrency derivative to the readymade artwork that interprets itself. It includes both the painstakingly devised and the gratuitously disposable. It is what we call things when uncertain if they are over- or underperforming, if they are historically backward or just as problematically advanced, if they are wonders or tricks. With its promises about the saving of time; the reduction of labor; and the expansion of value, the gimmick gives us tantalizing glimpses of a world in which social life will no longer be organized by labor, but also of one regenerating the conditions that keep labor's social necessity in place. As Ngai takes us from the hoaxes of Edgar Allen Poe to artist Stan Douglas's interest in outmoded special effects, we begin to see how the aesthetic manipulation of the gimmick points to a much deeper exploitation. Against academic claims about Marx's value-labor theory's obsolescence, the gimmick reveals it as vibrantly alive in the realm of aesthetics".

    Gefällt Ihnen die Zahl auf Ihrem Gehaltszettel? Gibt man Ihnen im Hotel das Zimmer mit Ausblick? War Ihr Auto ein Schnäppchen? Ja? Dann können Sie hier aussteigen. Allen anderen verrät Wirtschaftspsychologe Jack Nasher, wie man endlich das bekommt, was man will – durch effektives Verhandeln. Lernen Sie, wie wenige Sekunden über große und kleine Vermögen entscheiden. Und wie man diese wenigen Sekunden nutzt. Denn wer argumentiert, verliert. Verhandlungsmethoden aus der Praxis und psychologische Techniken vermitteln Ihnen das Handwerkszeug für die besten Deals. Faule Kompromisse? Schlechte Geschäfte? Damit ist jetzt Schluss!
