SLAVOJ ZIZEK, God Without the Sacred: The Book of Job, The First Critique of Ideology.

Madness isn't the Only Option: On Zizek’s Resignation to Narcissistic Politics by William Earnest [This paper is relatively long, 25 pages, and some readers may find it more convenient to download the .pdf file.

I think this is a nice idea as far as it goes but it’s not the solution. What we are more and more getting today is a capitalism which is brutally efficient but it no longer needs democracy for its functioning.
