Description
There should no longer be any doubt: global capitalism is fast approaching its terminal crisis. But 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, Žižek 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, Žižek has written a long afterword that leaves almost no subject untouched, from WikiLeaks to the nature of the Chinese Communist Party.

Slavoj Žižek's work in Living in the End Times is described as invigorating and entertaining, bridging the gap between popular culture and existential issues, appealing to curious minds globally. He is compared to Jacques Derrida as a leading thinker for contemporary Europe's intellectual youth. The book's fierce brilliance and scintillating nature make it a significant philosophical read.
