First as Tragedy, Then as Farce Kan levereras innan julafton
Billions of dollars were hastily poured into the global banking system in a frantic attempt at financial stabilisation. So why has it not been possible to bring the same forces to bear in addressing world poverty and environmental crisis? In this take-no-prisoners analysis, Slavoj Zizek frames the moral failures of the modern world in terms of the epoch-making events of the first decade of this century. What he finds is the old one-two punch of history: the jab of tragedy, the right hook of farce. In the attacks of 9/11 and the global credit crunch, liberalism dies twice: as a political doctrine and as an economic theory. The election of Donald Trump only confirms the bankruptcy of a liberal order on its last legs. First as Tragedy, Then as Farce is a call for the left to reinvent itself in the light of our desperate historical situation. The time for liberal, moralistic blackmail is over.

Zizek leaves no social or cultural phenomenon untheorized, and is master of the counterintuitive observation. * New Yorker * One of the most innovative and exciting contemporary thinkers of the left. * Times Literary Supplement * Few thinkers illustrate the contradictions of contemporary capitalism better than Slavoj Zizek ... one of the world's best-known public intellectuals. -- John Gray * New York Review of Books * A gifted speaker-tumultuous, emphatic, direct-he writes as he speaks. -- Jonathan Re * Guardian *
