    Capitalism's Mental Prison

    Лучшая цитата из Capitalism's Mental Prison

    “

    Capitalist realism is this pervasive sense that capitalism is the only viable economic and political system, and that it's impossible to even imagine a coherent alternative to it. If we can't imagine alternatives, we can't create them.
