After 1989, capitalism has successfully presented itself as the only realistic political-economic system - a situation that the bank crisis of 2008, far from ending, actually compounded. The audiobook analyses the development and principal features of this capitalist realism as a lived ideological framework. Using examples from politics, films, fiction, work, and education, it argues that capitalist realism colors all areas of contemporary experience.

Whhyy do quirky accents for every quotation?
Revisado: 01-04-21
Whyy.. Oh WHYY would one choose to do these weird little accents, like- nasal, almost villainous interjections, every time there is a quotation in the text?! It is ludicrous. And how is one reading Mark Fisher and pronouncing well known, relatively simply names like Zizek and Lacan as "zizeek" and "lacone"? Good try I guess, but very unfortunate.. very amateur.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 99
Being and Time was published in 1927 during the Weimar period in Germany, a time of political, social and economic turmoil. Heidegger himself did not escape the pressures and his nationalism, and undeniable anti-Semitism in the following decades cast a shadow over the man, but not the work. Being and Time is not coloured by expressions of his later views (unlike other writings) and remains an outstanding document.

So happy to have this on audio! I am sure this will prove one of if not the most treasured piece of my audible library. Would've preferred to have the Stambaugh translation read but meh- I am not complaining. This older translation is a venerable classic. And the narration is spot on so far, Just wow- thank you for being the best nonfiction audiobook publisher on the market Ukemi!! You are greatly appreciated!

I have long been a firm adherent to the rule that audiobooks should strictly remain as verbal representations of a text, rather than interpretive performances, by which I mean to imply- no dramatic character accents please; just read the text, with at most a mild emotive injection where the printed punctuation calls for it. Sometimes such flat readings can make denser and older texts a little tougher to discern, but I've always "read" audiobooks as a means to crush more text than I could ever find time for irl, not for casual dramatic entertainment; I want to to have my own reactions evinced by the text, not by the reading of the text.
But with this expert presentation of a slightly obscure Goethe has swayed my opinion: I can now decidedly stomach character accents if they are tactful and tasteful while remaining distinctly discernible, and also coherently maintained throughout the text, which is very much the case with Brant's performance here. At first I cringed to hear the Edward accent, but by the end I was converted. It definitely bolstered rather than subtracted from the presentation of this already outstanding novel.
Many thanks for creating an audio representation for Goethe beyond Werther and Faust! Please do Wilhelm Meister, the conversations with Eckerman, or even metamorphosis of plants, and I will eagerly purchase immediately!
