Žižek And So On

PREVIEW: Adrian Johnston & The Inhuman Selfishness of Capital


Listen Later

Alright, we’re back again with ADRIAN JOHNSTON to discuss more of his book INFINITE GREED: THE INHUMAN SELFISHNESS OF CAPITAL.

FULL EPISODE ON OUR PATREON HERE!

Adrian takes us through some of the shifts in Freud’s positions on Marxism and this insistence on negativity as history’s “real motor”.
Are we worth our weight in gold? What is the link between infinite greed and philanthropy? How do we account for the shift in leftist concerns along identitarian lines with the seemingly repressed exception of class differences? How to shift it? What can be done about this curious case of theoretical amnesia?
Are we still within capitalism or not? Are we techno-feudal, post-capital? What is Adrian’s position on the claim that we have moved beyond capitalism today?
Stick around for some updates at the end about his new co-written debate book with Slavoj Žižek that is in the works.
Thanks for all your support, up next we have a brand new series on Slavoj Žižek’s Living in the End Times and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
