Capitalist Realism (New Edition)

An analysis of the ways in which capitalism has presented itself as the only realistic political-economic system.

Description

After 1989, capitalism has presented itself as the only realistic political economic system. What effects has this capitalist realism had on work, culture, education and mental health? Is it possible to imagine an alternative to capitalism that is not some throwback to discredited models of state control?
