The quantity theory of morality : together with five supporting propositions and an epilogue
Self, Will2026
Book
In this dark yet hilariously satirical state-of-an-era novel, Self's target is a collective morality that is nothing more or less than pure sociability. His middle-class, middle-English characters appear trapped in a timeless go-round of polite chitchat in dinner parties that refract like a hall of mirrors as the novel progresses, until one day someone says something to the effect of, 'This way to the gas chamber, please, ladies and gentlemen.' The Quantity Theory of Morality finally solves the equation of time and money that dominates our lives, in a way that is simultaneously deranging, destabilizing, and hilarious.
