We republished this text from our friends at NON, of which Szepanski is an organizer, because its a good introduction into Szepanski’s work, which primarily focuses now on Speculative Finance. Szepanski will soon release a book with Palgrave called “The Ecstasy of Speculation” in German, but there are plans underway for a translation.
