Beschreibungen/Notizen
The question of fairness may seem out of place in the context of this brutal confrontation, but fairness - understood in American Psycho simply as receiving what one deserves - is essential to Ellis's nightmarish vision of the free market as the central apparatus for achieving social justice in a world where the flow and accumulation of capital is unfettered, I argue, by any artificial restraints, such as discrimination based on skin color, gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. [...] American Psycho chooses retribution for inequality rather than redistribution to end inequality.
