Trouble in Paradise: From the End of History to the End of Capitalism by Slavoj Žižek

4.0

This was a rollercoaster of a read. Žižek's pace is frantic, and while he did leap from one topic to another in a flurry, it was not too difficult to follow. His arguments and examples are coherent, presenting a good case for the revolutionary power of communism and dismantling of the evidently defunct Western liberal capitalist democracy. The broad use of examples across history, politics and popular culture was helpful, though he did repeat himself a little at times. This serves as a good entry point into Žižek's work.
