Know about the book -

Duchamp, Aesthetics and Capitalism is written by Julian Jason Haladyn and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 100065110X (ISBN 10) and 9781000651102 (ISBN 13).

This book is a significant re-thinking of Duchamp’s importance in the twenty-first century, taking seriously the readymade as a critical exploration of object-oriented relations under the conditions of consumer capitalism. The readymade is understood as an act of accelerating art as a discourse, of pushing to the point of excess the philosophical precepts of modern aesthetics on which the notion of art in modernity is based. Julian Haladyn argues for an accelerated Duchamp that speaks to a contemporary condition of art within our era of globalized capitalist production.
