Slovenian philosopher, sociologist and legal theorist, Renata Salecl, lays bare the fraying fabric of our communities, worn thin by corruption and apathy and she examines corporate exploitation, the unchecked dominance of technology behemoths, and the unsettling rise of new authoritarianism. Renata explores societal inertia, uncovering how feelings of helplessness and disenchantment often render individuals passive and how authoritarian forces capitalise on societal disconnection. She explains that the extreme individualism promoted by capitalism is exactly what needs to be overcome in order to tackle existential crises such as climate change. She confronts the stark realities of corruption, injustice, and the mental health toll perpetuated by capitalist structures - a relentless pursuit of productivity that often culminates in guilt, anxiety, and a dearth of empathy amidst cutthroat competition.
