Living in the End Times
Zizek, Slavoj
Living in the End Times Slavoj Zizek - Verso 2010 - 520p; 21x14cm
Reflection on global capitalism as headed towards its terminal crises, as evident from four phenomena: the ecological crises; economic imbalances; biogenetic revolution and exploding social divisions and ruptures. There should no longer be any doubt: global capitalism is fast approaching its terminal crisis. Slavoj iek has identified the four horsemen of this coming apocalypse: the worldwide ecological crisis; imbalances within the economic system; the biogenetic revolution; and exploding social divisions and ruptures. But, he asks, if the end of capitalism seems to many like the end of the world, how is it possible for Western society to face up to the end times? In a major new analysis of our global situation, iek argues that our collective responses to economic Armageddon correspond to the stages of grief: ideological denial, explosions of anger and attempts at bargaining, followed by depression and withdrawal. For this edition, iek has written a long afterword that leaves almost no subject untouched, from WikiLeaks to the nature of the Chinese Communist Party.
