Jérôme Mauche's Linguistic Extraction of Neoliberalism

Jérôme Mauche's latest book, 'La loi des rendements décroissants,' published by Éditions du Seuil in the collection directed by François Bon, is a rare fusion of formalist experimentation and sharp realism. The author consumed three months of economic press and produced 202 fragments of linguistic agglomerate, revealing how economic valuation invades all aspects of life, transforming any activity into a rhetorical evaluation enterprise. Mauche's work projects the night of the living dead into the hell of syntactic management, offering an anticipation of language destruction devoid of science fiction. The book, reviewed by Joseph Mouton, captures the mutation of contemporary neoliberalism and capitalism.
