Trouble in Paradise
Setting out to diagnose the condition of global capitalism, the ideological constraints we are faced with in our lives, and the bleak future promised by this system, this book explores the possibilities - and the traps - of new emancipatory struggles.
Despite living in a world of almost constant crisis, we still seem to accept that capitalism - dangerously enticing, promiscuous, unstable - is what we're stuck with. Philosopher Slavoj Zizek ranges over everything from music videos to Marx to explore the possibilities of radical change.

Description
Probably the most famous living philosopher on how to end the crisis of capitalism and reimagine communism.
There is obviously trouble in the global capitalist paradise. But why do we find it so difficult to imagine a way out of the crisis we're in? It is as if the trouble feeds on itself — the march of capitalism has become inexorable, the only game in town.
Setting out to diagnose the condition of global capitalism, the ideological constraints we are faced with in our daily lives, and the bleak future promised by this system, Slavoj Žižek explores the possibilities — and the traps — of new emancipatory struggles.
Drawing insights from phenomena as diverse as Gangnam Style to Marx, The Dark Knight to Thatcher, Trouble in Paradise is an incisive dissection of the world we inhabit and the new order to come.
