A Psychoanalytical-Historical Perspective on Capitalism and Politics

by Mino Vianello

Mino Vianello uniquely bridges together a multitude of disciplines and perspectives, such as analytical psychology, Marxism, history, class, feminism, politics and empathy, to provide a comprehensive and honest history of power from the Enlightenment to present day through a Jungian lens. Split into five parts, Vianello begins by evaluating the Jungian ideas present in the Frankfurter school of thought and demonstrates how gender and empathy previously shaped our social unconscious before being replaced with economics and technology that now shape our social outlook. Urging for a new approach to democracy, Vianello defines our current social and political climate as 'Radical Federalism' and hopes for an end to the repetition of outdated political and philosophical ideals, solving the world's democratic crisis by looking at analytical psychology and learning from past mistakes.
