La Part maudite
La Part maudite (eng: the accursed share) is a book by Georges Bataille written between 1946 and 1949. It presents a new economic theory which replaces the idea of exchange by potlatch, that is, a competitive system in which power is displayed in the extravagant loss of personal wealth.
