Once, the economy was governed by demand. It produced what was necessary. Now it is dictated by what’s on offer: it creates the necessity within the public for what is produced. We suffer, therefore, from an insatiable anxiety, because we are constantly convinced that we are missing something. José Antonio Marina, our author-detective, has discovered a lack of a “theory of desire”. What is desire? Where does it come from? What are its determining features? How are our desires manipulated? / José Antonio Marina –reincidiendo en su condición de detective cultural– se enfrenta en este libro a un nuevo caso. Durante milenios, la humanidad ha desconfiado de la fuerza del deseo. La sociedad opulenta en que vivimos altera esa tradición. Tiene que estimular constantemente los deseos para sobrevivir. Antes, la economía estaba dirigida por la demanda. Producía lo que era necesario. Ahora se rige por la oferta: crea en el público la necesidad de lo producido. Padecemos así un ansia inacabable, porque siempre nos convencerán de que nos falta algo.
