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, Zizek 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, Zizek has written a long afterword that leaves almost no subject untouched, from WikiLeaks to the nature of the Chinese Communist Party.
"The result is, as usual, a compendium of long passages of fierce brilliance ... i ek is consistently penetrating."
--Steven Poole, Guardian
"Never ceases to dazzle."
--Brian Dillon, Daily Telegraph
"The thinker of choice for Europe's young intellectual vanguard ... to witness i ek in full flight is a wonderful and at times alarming experience, part philosophical tightrope-walk, part performance-art marathon, part intellectual roller-coaster ride."
--Sean O'Hagan, Observer
"Wide-ranging, often revelatory, frequently bewildering."
--Helen Brown, Daily Telegraph
"A giddying combination of exhilaration and perplexity, an addictive high-speed chase with bewildering changes in terrain that for the reader necessitate multiple gear shifts, sudden U-turns, three- and four-point turns, elegant loops and impossibly narrow angles to negotiate."
--Irish Left Review
"The most dangerous philosopher in the West."
--Adam Kirsch, The New Republic
