Tragic at the beginning, humorous at the end, by: Slavoj Žižek

Gheichik presents an interesting book, as if a window to the economic, political, and social world, through which we look at the two events that mark the beginning of the first decade of the twenty-first century and its end: the September 11 attacks in 2001, and the global financial crisis in 2008. It also reveals two faces of history: a tragic face and a comic one; for with the events of September 11, liberalism died twice: once as a political principle, and the other as an economic theory. The book is a panorama of the world with its various events and revolutions that changed the course of history; as it engages with the heart of revolutionary liberation events, and understands their true meaning. No revolution should be measured by the moments of brilliance and elevation it offered during its astonishing period, but rather by the changes this great event leaves on daily life and its impact on it, meaning it is measured by the new era after rebellion and revolution.
