齐泽克继其畅销书《欢迎来到实在界这个沙漠》(Welcome to the Desert of the Real)之后,在这本对当前全球危机的大胆分析中,齐泽克认为,弗朗西斯·福山在上世纪90年代宣布的历史终结的自由主义观点,已经死了两次。在9/11早晨自由民主政治乌托邦崩溃之后,2008年底全球市场资本主义的经济乌托邦也崩溃了。马克思认为,历史会重演——第一次以悲剧的形式出现,第二次以闹剧的形式出现——而齐泽克追随赫伯特·马尔库塞(Herbert Marcuse),在这里指出,闹剧的重演可能比最初的悲剧更可怕。金融危机表明,全球化的幻想已经结束,随着数百万人失业,人们已经无法忽视全球资本主义的非理性。就在危机发生的几个月前,世界的首要任务似乎是全球变暖、艾滋病以及获得药品、食品和水——这些任务被贴上了紧急的标签,但任何实际行动都被一再推迟。如今,在金融危机爆发后,采取行动的迫切需要似乎已经变成了无条件的——其结果是,人们立即找到了大量做梦也想不到的现金,然后把它们注入金融部门,而不顾以往的优先事项。齐泽克问道,我们是否需要进一步的证据来证明,《资本论》是我们生活的真实:真实的要求甚至比我们自然和社会世界中最紧迫的问题更绝对?(豆瓣简介机翻)

In this bravura analysis of the current global crisis - following on from his bestselling "Welcome to the Desert of the Real"--Slavoj Zizek argues that the liberal idea of the end of history, declared by Francis Fukuyama during the 1990s, has had to die twice. After the collapse of the liberal-democratic political utopia, on the morning of 9/11, came the collapse of the economic utopia of global market capitalism at the end of 2008. Marx argued that history repeats itself-occurring first as tragedy, the second time as farce - and Zizek, following Herbert Marcuse, notes here that the repetition as farce can be even more terrifying than the original tragedy. The financial meltdown signals that the fantasy of globalization is over and as millions are put out of work it has become impossible to ignore the irrationality of global capitalism. Just a few months before the crash, the world's priorities seemed to be global warming, AIDS, and access to medicine, food and water- tasks labelled as urgent, but with any real action repeatedly postponed. Now, after the financial implosion, the urgent need to act seems to have become unconditional - with the result that undreamt of quantities of cash were immediately found and then poured into the financial sector without any regard for the old priorities. Do we need further proof, Zizek asks, that Capital is the Real of our lives: the Real whose demands are more absolute than even the most pressing problems of our natural and social world?

The leading philosopher of our time tracks the demise of liberalism through landmark events of the 21st century—from 9/11 to the farce of the financial meltdownBillions of dollars were hastily poured into the global banking system in a frantic attempt at financial stabilization. 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.
