Description

In the book "In Trouble in Paradise," Slavoj Žižek, one of our most renowned and subversive philosophers, explains how utilizing the ideas of communism can help us find a way out of the crisis of capitalism. There is obviously a problem in the global capitalist paradise. But why do we find it so difficult to imagine a way out of the crisis we are in? It seems the problem feeds on itself: the course of capitalism has become relentless, the only game in town.

Žižek attempts to diagnose the state of global capitalism, the ideological constraints we face in our daily lives, and the bleak future this system promises. He explores the possibilities - and pitfalls - of new emancipatory struggles. He examines phenomena ranging from Gangnam Style to Marx, from The Dark Knight to Thatcher; "Trouble in Paradise" is a thorough analysis of the world we inhabit and the new order that is coming.

“The most dangerous philosopher in the West” - Adam Kirsch, New Republic

“The most formidably brilliant exponent of psychoanalysis, indeed of cultural theory in general, to have emerged for many decades” - Terry Eagleton

“Žižek leaves no social or cultural phenomenon unexamined by theory, and is a master of the counterintuitive observation” - New Yorker
