Is there anything good written within the last 5-20 years? something that is more up to date?

>>13266266

>>13266266
a brief history of neoliberalism
kill all normies
the culture of narcissism
one dimensional man

and btw, das kapital and the philosophic and economic manuscripts, or marx in general is ESSENTIAL for reading all subsequent philosophy along with Nietzsche and other modernist authors

>>13266280
based haha poster

>>13266187
Das Kapital
The Tourist: A New Theory of the Leisure Class
Global Culture Industry
The Powers of Freedom
Understanding Media
Also Dubets and Martuccelis and Ulrich Becks works.

The ones you mentioned, excluding Foucaults works, are large scale diagnoses that draw from other more "grounded" sociological and philosophical studies about contemporary societies, that are obviously analitically more rich and complex. But if you only want to get a wide panoramic they're fine.

You can do both

Women can sense the communistic sense of panic at the state of the modern world that you bitch ass boys carry with ya'll

Comments on the society of spectacle was written 30 years ago, it almost qualifies.

Is Capitalist Realism actually good or just memed up?

Theory of the Leisure Class
Amusing Ourselves to Death
Bourdieu's Distinction (like Capital--a book everyone recommends but never actually reads)

>>13266407
>Theory of the Leisure Class
A little bit outdated but interesting nonetheless
>Bourdieu's Distinction
Don't take habitus too seriously. Also "La reproduction".

>>13266187
>What other books should I read to understand the landscape of today?
This looks good

>>13266430
That's one great obscure anthropology recommendation. Wouldn't think that it would be possible to see such a recommendation in 4chan.

>>13266187
Throw that all out and read Nietzsche so you can understand and read >>13266187
Baudrillard.

>>13266187
What a great ass, such suitable pose

>>13266187

I wish to hoard and breed all 5 of the fat ass asians that are out there

>>13266187
Situationism is pseud bullshit. If you want to understand anything, you read the Greeks, the Christians, the Germans, and then the French.

>>13266187
I suggest you stop wasting your time with that Continental shit and read a proper work of scholarship for once. The Industrious Revolution by Jan de Vries. There you go.

>>13266424
Bourdieu's Distinction is for brainlets compared to any work of Marx.

>>13266500
No such thing as "situationism".

>needing to be told what the landscape of today is instead of going out to perceive it yourself
>sitting around masturbating to books that reinforce your existing biases and give you an excuse to not be an actor but an observer

cowards version of "intellectualism"

>>13266187
Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes
The Black Swan
Devil Take the Hindmost

>>13266562
So you just stepped into this forum by some strange mistake.

I hope nobody takes your advice ever.

>>13266187

The Soul at Work
Platform Capitalism
The Stack

Are.na / Yuppie Dystopia - https://www.are.na/nick-demarco/yuppie-dystopia

24/7 by Verso, too lazy to lookup the author now, it's about sleep. A nice quick read as well, like a line of coke

>>13266389
how the fuck is a book against conformity, capitalism, communism, etc a fucking psyop...

Eros and Civilization
Critique of Everyday Life
New Dark Age
Just everything by Walter Benjamin, his media and Baudelaire writings especially
Civilization and its Discontents
I think Peter Gay's Education of The Senses is also well worth a read

>Society of the spectacle

>Culture Industry
retroactively incorrect, also racist
>discipline and punish
good
>birth of biopolitics
good
>societies of control

>capitalist realism

The last two in particular are quite ill-informed and not aware of literature in modern economics, sociology, etc.

What'd everybody think of Acid Communism?
