Description
First as Tragedy, Then as Farce by Slavoj Zizek is an unflinching analysis of the demise of liberalism in the 21st century. The author examines landmark events such as the 9/11 attacks and the global financial meltdown to frame the moral failures of the modern world. Zizek argues that liberalism has died twice: once as a political doctrine and again as an economic theory, with the election of Donald Trump confirming its bankruptcy. This book is a call for the Left to reinvent itself in light of our desperate historical situation. In this take-no-prisoners analysis, Zizek challenges readers to confront the reality of our world and consider new ways forward.
