P. Sedgwick 
Nietzsche’s Economy 
Modernity, Normativity and Futurity

This book proposes that Nietzsche should be viewed as an economic thinker to rank alongside Marx. Peter Sedgwick shows how Nietzsche views economy as the basic condition under which the ‘human animal’ developed. Economy, Nietzsche argues, endowed us with futurity, and is a defining aspect of human behaviour.
