In Trouble in Paradise, Slavoj Zizek, one of our most famous, most
combative philosophers, explains how by drawing on the ideas of
communism, we can find a way out of the crisis of capitalism. There
is obviously trouble in the global capitalist paradise. But why do
we find it so difficult to imagine a way out of the crisis we're
in? It is as if the trouble feeds on itself: the march of
capitalism has become inexorable, the only game in town. Setting
out to diagnose the condition of global capitalism, the ideological
constraints we are faced with in our daily lives, and the bleak
future promised by this system, Slavoj Zizek explores the
possibilities - and the traps - of new emancipatory struggles.
Drawing insights from phenomena as diverse as Gangnam Style to
Marx, The Dark Knight to Thatcher, Trouble in Paradise is an
incisive dissection of the world we inhabit, and the new order to
come. 'The most dangerous philosopher in the West' - Adam Kirsch,
New Republic 'The most formidably brilliant exponent of
psychoanalysis, indeed of cultural theory in general, to have
emerged in many decades' - Terry Eagleton 'Zizek leaves no social
or cultural phenomenon untheorized, and is master of the
counterintuitive observation' - New Yorker
