Capitalism dominates, Todd McGowan argues, because it mimics the structure of our desire while hiding the trauma that the system inflicts upon it. People from all backgrounds enjoy what capitalism provides, but at the same time are told more and better is yet to come. Capitalism traps us through an incomplete satisfaction that compels us after the new, the better, and the more. Capitalism's parasitic relationship to our desires gives it the illusion of corresponding to our natural impulses, which is how capitalism's defenders characterize it. By understanding this psychic strategy, McGowan hopes to divest us of our addiction to capitalist enrichment and help us rediscover enjoyment as we actually experienced it. By locating it in the present, McGowan frees us from our attachment to a better future and the belief that capitalism is an essential outgrowth of human nature. From this perspective, our economic, social, and political worlds open up to real political change. Eloquent and enlivened by examples from film, television, consumer culture, and everyday life, Capitalism and Desire brings a new, psychoanalytically grounded approach to political and social theory. 606 $aCapitalism$xPsychological aspects 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 606 $aPsychoanalysis$xPhilosophy 615 0$aCapitalism$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis$xPhilosophy. 676 $a330.122019 700 $aMcGowan$b Todd$0776541 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828455903321 996 $aCapitalism and desire$93998378 997 $aUNINA
