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?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eQuit Everything\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Repeater\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915672513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Franco Bifo Berardi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44315084161205,"sku":"9781915672513","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_67bba0e6-01ca-42c3-b662-d6ce0420d6b0.jpg?v=1718720118","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/quit-everything-interpreting-depression-9781915672513","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
