Capitalist Realism - Mark Fisher

Reasoning

Having drafted a dot-to-dot style skeleton of quotes to form the structure of my dissertation, I've found that the triangulation of confirming capitalism as more of a Nietzschean system than communism or modernist ideology. The title and description of this book seemed like this book would raise points that would help affirm these points.

What I Gained

I found the relevant chapters of this book more interesting than necessarily useful, but they did raise a couple of important points: 

1. It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.
2. Capitalism has been shown to be the only political and economic system that works.
3. Capitalism allows modernism to exist within it, but only as an aesthetic, not an ideal.
4. Moral critiques of capitalism tend to be very naive.

Next Steps

Having now established what points I will be making with my essay, I know what sort of things I should be looking for to use as examples or case studies within the essay.
