Yep.
Huh. Hadn’t heard of this book or idea before. Honestly, it’s kind of common sense isn’t it.
Just going if the Wikipedia link provided by a sibling post (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalist_Realism)
Surely you get to the same essential idea by simply combining the whole Kuhn-style paradigm and paradigm shift idea with the basic fact of capitalism’s ideological dominance since WWII.
Where for me, the striking statement from Kuhn about paradigm shifts was that communication across the boundary between two paradigms isn’t possible. A claim of hard relativism, at least at the practical level that seems to me very true, especially once you recognise the finiteness of the human mind and its predilection for group think.
