Žižek on the financial crisis
I had been wondering when Žižek was going to have something to say regarding the financial crisis. Dow was down 600 points and G7 members were just driving through the gates when I checked the news about an hour ago. From the London Review of Books, "Don't Just Do Something, Talk":
