Exploring hauntology of the present and capitalist realism

Living in the hauntology of the present means comparing the present to unrealized futures and past injustices. This concept, influenced by Derrida and Fischer, leads to understanding capitalist realism. In a world dominated by neoliberalism and postmodernism, people often cope by focusing on making money to survive. This behavior stems from accepting capitalism as an unchangeable reality, rather than a system open to transformation. The idea of capitalist realism portrays capitalism not just as a socioeconomic structure but as an ingrained, unchangeable aspect of our world.
