«El capitalismo funeral: La crisis o la Tercera Guerra Mundial» is the essay by Vicente Verdú, published by Anagrama in hardback (200 pages, in Spanish).
Verdú reads the financial crisis as the twilight of a culture and the possible beginning of another stage. He analyses how globalisation, the internet and television have revealed the world's ills, and how consumerism has prepared the critique of the object and of the image. The essay asks whether the collapse of the system is one more story or the funeral of an era.
It is part of the Argumentos collection, number 398. First edition, published in Barcelona on 7 May 2009.
Aimed at a general audience with an interest in economics, philosophy and social criticism.
Vicente Verdú was a Spanish writer, journalist and economist.
