Demanding the Impossible

the long version

Based on live interviews, this book captures Žižek at his best, elucidating such topics as the uprisings of the Arab Spring, the global financial crisis, populism in Latin America, the rise of China, and even the riddle of North Korea. While analyzing our present predicaments, Žižek also explores possibilities for change. A key obligation in our troubled times, Žižek argues, is to dare to ask fundamental questions: we must reflect and theorize anew, and always be prepared to rethink and redefine the limits of the possible.--
