This provocative book interrogates the ideology of capitalism as the “default” narrative underpinning various mainstream ideologies in the contemporary world. The book explores the genesis, structure and functioning of this ideological narrative, provides its critical assessment and outlines a possible alternative, beyond the logic of capitalism and toward a truly free and democratic society. The book revisits metaphysical foundations behind the ideology of capitalism, exposing their secular-religious dimension, and their immanent oppressiveness.

Participants: Marjan Ivković, Milan Urošević, Mark Losoncz, Damir Zejnulahović.
