"His books within public health. That our era is crisscrossed by the dismal science and statistics, which is etymologically the heart of the reason of state and its willingness to normalize by the `normal distribution 'the world is one thing; then approach the two reasons to live, or survive, houellebecquiennes - kindness and love-is another, otherwise oxygenating ".
Having read and appreciated Extension field of combating published in 2001, I discovered with happiness "Platform" published a year later.
Houellebecq dismantles the logic of capitalism which kills our Western society. The feeling becomes vanity. Is it vanity? Can love exist? When the lack of amorous desire, killed by the struggle of all against all, that eternal predators of competition in which every citizen is delivered in the workplace, in his social life, is supplemented by an economy of supply, that of paid sex, then capitalism has reached its final goal of destruction.
Creative destruction-loving idealists say some navel gazing, forgetting the violent destruction of the scope and limits of the painful suffering of creation.
Houellebecq illustrates the enormity of the comparative advantages of Ricardo. Put simply, this law states that a country will specialize in the production for which it has the absolute lowest production costs, compared to other countries, and share with them the goods it has produced.
The West is rich but lack of sex (through love is dead, even though some Catholics defend according to the author). Asia is poor but rich in youth ready to meet the physical, not humans (humans scared), but cattle.
Capitalism reducing man to a decision management center reasoned to cover its needs, killed the gift. Philosopher Jean-Claude Michéa defender and herald of "common decency" by George Orwell (example: Mysteries of the Left: the ideal of the Enlightenment From the triumph of absolute capitalism).
Liberalism is inseparable relativism. Values are individual rather than transcendent. There can be no morality, moral sense, of Good and Evil. If the adult is willing, then everything can be done, including evenings SM degrading torture programs. Therefore, artistic creation is deflected, reduced to a cynical expression, dépréciante filthy and the human body.
In "Platform," the economist novelist Houellebecq continues believed analysis of the key failures of liberalism that lead through the death of society, of every community, that of Man. Even madness, ultimately, does not allow the release. Suicide is prompt conclusion of this total destruction.
