This book examines the 2008 global economic crisis as a complex
social phenomenon or "social hieroglyphic", arguing that the crisis
is not fundamentally economic, despite presenting itself as such.
Instead, it is considered to be a symptom of a long-standing,
multifaceted, and endemic crisis of capitalism which has
effectively become permanent, leading contemporary capitalist
societies into a state of social regression, manifest in new forms
of barbarism. The author offers a qualitative understanding of the
economic crisis as the perversion, or inversion, of the
capitalistically organized social relations. The genesis of the
current crisis is traced back to the unresolved world crisis
surrounding the Great Depression in order to map the course and
different "inverted forms" of the continuous global crisis of
capitalism, and to reveal their inner connections as derivative of
the same social constitution. From a historical and
interdisciplinary perspective, the book expounds critical social
theory, elaborating on the intersection between the early critical
theory of the Frankfurt School - mainly Adorno, Horkheimer, and
Marcuse - and the "social form" analysis of the Open Marxism
school. Global Economic Crisis as Social Hieroglyphic critically
addresses the permanent character of the 1920s-1930s crisis and the
"crisis theory" debates; the political crisis in Eastern Europe
(1953-1968); the crisis of Keynesianism; the crisis of subversive
reason; the crisis, negative anthropology and transformations of
the bourgeois individual; the state of social regression and the
destructive tendencies after the rise of neoliberalism; and
finally, the 2008 financial crisis and its ongoing aftermath.
