Book of critical theory by Jean Baudrillard. Translated with an introduction by Mark Poster. Cover design by Suzanne Alt. "Mirror of Production" was THE book that everybody in the artworld had in their back pockets in the 1980s. You couldn't go anyplace where somebody wasn't quoting the 'gobbledygook' contained within. "Are concepts of labor and of production adaptable to a developing industrial society? ... [Baudrillard] argues that we must break the mirror of production which 'reflects all of Western metaphysics,' and free the Marxist logic from the restrictive context of political economy whence it was born. A book certain to provoke serious and much-needed debate." -- from book's back cover.
