Ilustration In Favor Of Books El banquero anarquista
Vertebrado casi a manera de diálogo socrático inverso. "El banquero anarquista", del poeta portugués Fernando Pessoa, lleva hasta el paroxismo el desarrollo de un razonamiento sofista -es decir de una especulación inteligente, pero utilitaria, travestida de pensamiento. A la evidente nunca innecesaria reflexión sobre el lugar del poder en la sociedad actual -que también sería una reflexión sobre la violencia establecida como realidad social y económica-, el Pessoa de "El banquero anarquista" remite también al albedrío de los individuos. Cuestiona el poder vertical, a la par que acepta su existencia como algo de lo que vale la pena escapar -lo cual sólo puede acontecer, según el sofista, con sus propias armas y herramientas. Al tocar el tema de la riqueza en tanto meta de nuestra sociedad advierte, no sin cruenta paradoja, que en la acumulación de riquezas reside cuando menos la ilusión de una salida individual a la presión social. Este relato-diálogo revela, pleno de ironía -de decepción asimilada-, aun dentro de los más elevados ideales tópicos subyacentes, la inquietante presencia de la contradicción como elemento consustancial a la condición humana.

GREAT book from one of my fave all-time authors/poets. A banker tells, and convinces with great arguments, about how he is a true anarchist, and has won over the system, following his true beliefs.Didn't engage me.
To be honest I didn't expect it, but it was quite entertaining! Sometimes though I couldn't completely follow the anarchist banker's logic.
It is a very interesting book that puts another perspective on what it means to be an anarchist...
I can't say I really appreciated this book. It was easy to read and the starting idea was interesting, but first, I couldn't agree with his explanations and second, the narrative form was too self-aggrandizing: the second character exists only to admire the first one, and this is quite boring. But on another side, this book is quite old and deserves some respect because of the nice reasoning for that time. However, I don't think it reflects what is anarchy.
Didn't engage me.
