Slavoj Žižek argues that global capitalism is nearing its breaking point, driven by ecological emergencies, economic imbalances, biogenetic revolutions and widening social rifts. In Living in the End Times, he identifies these "four horsemen" and examines how they signal an impending systemic collapse.

Using the metaphor of the five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance—Žižek maps our collective psychological and political responses. He shows how everything from New Age retreats to religious extremism reflects attempts to cope with crisis, and he challenges us to move beyond mere reaction.

Key Themes

  • Ecological crisis and sustainability
  • Global economic imbalances
  • The biogenetic revolution
  • Rising social divisions
  • A renewed Marxian critique of political economy
  • Utopian cultural visions

Blending philosophy, economics and cultural analysis, Living in the End Times offers a rigorous framework for understanding our era’s upheavals and imagining paths toward collective renewal.
