Utopia or Bust: A Guide to the Present Crisis (Jacobin)

After the financial crashÂ and the great recession,Â the media rediscoveredÂ Karl Marx, socialistÂ theory, and the very ideaÂ that capitalism can be questioned.

But in spite of the publicity, the main paths of contemporaryÂ critical thought have gone unexplored
outside of the academy. Benjamin Kunkelâ€™s Utopia orÂ Bust leads readers â€“Â whether politically committedÂ or simply curious â€“Â through the most important criticalÂ theory today. Written with the wit and verve ofÂ Kunkelâ€™s best-selling novel, Indecision, this introductionÂ to contemporary Leftist thinkers engages withÂ the revolutionary philosophy of Slavoj ÂŽiÂžek, the economicÂ analyses of David Graeber and David Harvey,Â and the cultural diagnoses of Fredric Jameson.

Discussing the ongoing crisis of capitalism in light ofÂ ideas of full employment, debt forgiveness, and â€œfictitiousÂ capital,â€ Utopia or Bust is a tour through theÂ world of Marxist thought and an examination of theÂ basis of Western society today.
