================================

Capitalist Realism Reading Series || Before our deep-dive, a workable summary of Capitalist Realism is in order, inking the murkier bits of the previous emotional appeal to Fisher's more tangible analysis. This is a brief overview of a few big ideas in Capitalist Realism, including reflexive impotence, retromania, cultural sterility, business ontology, market Stalinism, depressive hedonia, and more.
