“The allure of capitalism is identified by the brilliant anarchist director Luis Buñuel, from whose film we borrowed the title of the book, in 'sin' or, if you prefer, in immorality. However, the immorality of capitalism must be as discreet as possible in order to be captivating.

Just as one does not openly deceive his wife, one must not openly deceive his partner either. Capitalism does not need con artists, but cunning and flexible tricksters, so that the game remains as unboring and safe as possible. In capitalism, games must be played by rules, and everything must appear proper.

However, woe to the capitalist who does not discreetly and cleverly break the rules and who is indeed proper. The allure of the right capitalist consists in his ability to be a con artist without appearing to be one.” [Excerpt from the text on the back cover of the edition]
