Synopsis "Capitalist Realism - is There no Alternative? Is There no Alternative? (Zero Books)"

After 1989, capitalism has successfully presented itself as the only realistic political-economic system - a situation that the bank crisis of 2008, far from ending, actually compounded. The book analyses the development and principal features of this capitalist realism as a lived ideological framework. Using examples from politics, films, fiction, work and education, it argues that capitalist realism colours all areas of contemporary experience. But it will also show that, because of a number of inconsistencies and glitches internal to the capitalist reality program capitalism in fact is anything but realistic.

" En este libro, Mark Fisher hace una crítica cultural que tiene al agotamiento de las fuerzas creativas en el capitalismo avanzado como tesis central, incluyendo referencias contemporáneas (cine, música, arte) con las que cualquier lector puede familiarizarse. Se repasan autores relevantes de la política y la filosofía en un lenguaje simple sin perder la rigurosidad. Altamente recomendable tanto para lectores casuales como para académicos. "
