Books Descriptions
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.
