Billions of dollars were hastily poured into the [[global]] banking [[system]] in a frantic attempt at financial stabilisation. So why has it not been possible to bring the same forces to bear in addressing [[world]] poverty and environmental crisis?<div class="book-info__title">
In this take-no-prisoners First As [[analysisTragedy]], [[Then As Farce - Slavoj Žižek]] 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]] [[orderZizek]] on its last legs.
