Utopia or Bust: A Guide to the Present Crisis
Benjamin Kunkel
The deepest economic crisis in eighty years prompted a shallow revival of Marxism, writes Benjamin Kunkel of the 2008 recession–and the shallowness was undoubtedly a result of the complex, sometimes difficult nature of contemporary Marxist thought. Enter Kunkel’s Utopia or Bust, which leads the uninitiated reader through the biggest names in critical political theory today.
Written with the wit and verve of a novelist, Utopia or Bust engages with the revolutionary philosophies of Slavoj Zizek, the economic analyses of David Graeber and David Harvey, and the cultural diagnoses of Fredric Jameson. Discussing the crisis of capitalism alongside the idea of full employment and the right to work, Utopia or Bust is not only a tour through the world of Marxist thought, but also an examination of the state of Western society today.
