Synopsis
Mark Fisher's "Capitalist Realism" argues that capitalism has become the unquestioned default system, making it easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism itself. This book examines how this ideology permeates contemporary life, from politics and film to work and education. Fisher critically analyzes this "lived ideological framework," questioning its supposed realism and exploring ways to challenge its dominance.
