Overview
Teresa Brennan marshalls the insights of Marx and Freud to provide a compelling and insightful analysis of the pervading modern capitalism: environmental collapse, the rising poverty levels, and the increased global economic disparity. Linking the consumption of environmental resources to our own depleted psychic life, she shows that modernity must be rethought if we are to find a sustainable future for both the environment an our own psychic life.Synopsis
