Against Progress

In this thought-provoking collection of thirteen essays, Slavoj Žižek examines the diverse and often conflicting visions of progress amidst the current crises facing humanity. He challenges the narratives set by neoliberalists, populists, and self-help industries, exposing what these perspectives overlook regarding our future. With a sweeping exploration that spans topics like gentrification, Buddhist economics, and political figures, Žižek relentlessly asks difficult questions about how we can liberate ourselves from complacency and truly envision a better world.
