Speed — neoliberalism
A poster I spotted on the dangers of speed — although, Ali G might have asked after reading half-way through: “but where are the downsides?”.
And after reading the rest, you start thinking: is this not…everyday life in neoliberalist capital culture, where you feel like that anyway after a normal work day?
After these thoughts, read this “The Political Economy of Unhappiness” (New Left Review).
A quote from the article: “One contradiction of neo-liberalism is that it demands levels of enthusiasm, energy and hope whose conditions it destroys through insecurity, powerlessness and the valorization of unattainable ego ideals via advertising.”
