Žižek And So On

CHAPTER

Capitalism, Desire, and the Imposition of Satisfaction

This chapter delves into the relationship between capitalism and desire, examining the ways in which desire has been imposed and misdirected in a capitalist society. The hosts explore the concept of enjoyment and satisfaction, questioning whether it is the content or the form of consumption that truly matters. They also discuss the role of psychoanalysis in challenging the idea that the future holds a solution to current problems and consider the possibility of a more just future.
