«Problemas en el paraíso» is Slavoj Žižek's essay on the crisis of capitalism, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (280 pages, in Spanish).
The title alludes to liberal democratic capitalism, presented for decades as the best possible social order, and to the economic crisis that disproves it. Starting from the eponymous film by Ernst Lubitsch, Žižek structures his analysis in five sections: diagnosis of the system, cardiognosis through Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, prognosis that rejects the dichotomy between liberal capitalism and religious fundamentalism, and epignosis with new organisational forms against speculative finance. An appendix addresses the Arab Spring, Greece and Ukraine as revolts against the New World Order.
The book belongs to Anagrama's Argumentos collection, number 502, and includes a translation by Damià Alou.
Recommended for readers interested in political philosophy, critique of capitalism and contemporary social theory.
Slavoj Žižek is a Slovenian neo-Marxist philosopher, cultural theorist and public intellectual.
