Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative? by Mark Fisher

4.0

Thought-provoking and short read with some effective and unexpected media references. I like the premise. I added so much to my reading list based on the author’s many, many references to other scholars. Sometimes felt a bit convoluted. I wish there was more space for in-depth examples like the one on mental health, which was really interesting (short version: capitalist realism wants to define mental illness as an individual chemical imbalance - not also an endemic, societal problem related to failed social and economic structures).
