But what if this isn't depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unliveable future?In Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this 'depression' is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as 'desertion'. A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBerardi analyses why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46124288573699,"sku":"9781915672513","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781915672513.jpg?v=1731328661","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.live\/products\/9781915672513","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
