Book, Parasitic capitalism: and other contemporary themes[LS]

Acclaimed sociologist Zygmunt Bauman casts his critical gaze on various topics in the contemporary world: credit cards, anorexia, bulimia, the 2009 financial crisis and its possible solutions, the uselessness of education in its current form, culture as a merchandise counter. .. They are all phenomena that contribute to the dominant malaise in our societies, and are brilliantly related to the concept of liquidity developed by the sociologist. Such different aspects are articulated in a dense way, producing a unique understanding of the roots of this malaise. Once again, Bauman's ideas guide and illuminate our understanding of current affairs, touching on the root of the problems of everyday life.
