Anderson discusses the postwar boom when the division of aestheticism and economics was at its greatest. This is when Jameson began to produce his works, and Anderson describes this as "the greatest aesthetic tradition" (125). However, Anderson goes on to explain how the two notions of aesthetics and economics were slowly reunited again, or particularly how economy progressed into being seen as an internal component of aesthetics itself (126).

This is interesting because we have discussed the concepts of capitalism and aestheticism as two very separate entities. To see them depend on each other to function is a very different thought, however, I think it is this contradiction in life that makes things work. Many people have been posting blogs pondering about the "contradictions" of postmodernity, and it is exactly this that makes up one of its most defining characteristics.
