  • Zizek is quite the interesting intellectual. A little too weird for me, but, he is quite useful in certain areas; especially in pop-culture and such. - jackstephens on 2009-03-07

The terrorist attacks of September 2001 and the financial meltdown have exploded the myth that the market economy and liberal democracy have all the answers to all the questions.
  • But even if capitalism is temporarily repaired, Žižek says, this will do nothing to resolve its inherent contradictions.
