This text analyses the timelessness of the revolutionary romantic critique of capitalist modernity in Walter Benjamin’s thought. One hundred years after “Capitalism as Religion” has been written (1921), we will show its importance and study the way in which the German philosopher elaborates his micrological-Marxist analysis. First, we will examine the nodal points of his romantic critique both in his books Einbahnstrasse and Passagenwerk. Then we will look at the role of fashion in the dynamics of consumption.
