After 1989, capitalism was assumed to be the only realistic political-economic system – a situation that the bank crisis of 2008, far from ending, actually compounded. In his book, Mark Fisher analyses the development and principal features of this capitalist realism as a lived ideological framework. Using examples from politics, films (Children Of Men, Jason Bourne, Supernanny), fiction (Le Guin and Kafka), work and education, it argues that capitalist realism which colours all areas of contemporary experience, is anything but realistic.
