![]() for anyone wanting to talk seriously about the politics of education today. ![]() Socialist Standard A provocative and necessary read. Using examples from politics, film (Children Of Men, Jason Bourne, Supernanny), fiction (Le Guin and Kafka), work and education, it argues that capitalist realism colours all areas of contemporary experience, is anything but realistic and asks how capitalism and its inconsistencies can be challenged It is a sharp analysis of the post-ideological malaise that suggests that the economics and politics of free market neo-liberalism are givens rather than constructions. The book analyses the development and principal features of this capitalist realism as a lived ideological framework.

Fisher searches for the traces of these lost futures in the work of David Peace, John Le Carr, Christopher Nolan, Joy Division, Burial and many others. He wrote three books, Capitalist Realism, Ghosts of My Life and The Weird and the Eerie, and was based at the Visual Cultures department at Goldsmiths, University of London. This collection of writings by Mark Fisher, author of the acclaimed Capitalist Realism, argues that we are haunted by futures that failed to happen. His blog, k-punk, defined critical writing for a generation. It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Mark Fisher (1968 2017) was a co-founder of Zero Books and, later, Repeater Books. ![]()
