He provides the theory of a general economy, as distinct from the restricted economic perspective of most economic theory, based on hedonism and excess spending.
No.
Actually I'm about to go walk around in circles for 6 hours reading The Sacred Conspiracy which is a compilation of texts relating to his 1930s secret society Acephale and the College de Sociologie. Then I'm going to read Visions of Excess, which is a collection of 1920s and 1930s writings. I should do it the other way around. Maybe I will do that actually.
If anyone is interested in Bataille, I recommend taking one of two routes. Either read Visions of Excess, then The Sacred Conspiracy, then Denis Hollier's and/or Galleti's L'Apprenti sorcier, then his 1940s works, OR, post "where to start with bataille" periodically for 3 years on Yea Forums and then forget about him and eventually become a 34 year old who watches Youtube videos about how to frost a novelty cake or what happens when you film underwater explosions in slow motion.
