A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

*A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia* is a philosophical work by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari that explores how social, political, and economic systems resemble complex, interconnected maps rather than hierarchical structures. They analyze capitalism’s decentralized, flows-based nature and compare it to "schizophrenia" as a metaphor for breaking free from rigid, traditional patterns of thinking. The book encourages understanding society as a dynamic, multiplicity of networks and processes that reshape identity and organization, emphasizing fluidity, interconnectedness, and the potential for continuous transformation.
