Mark Fisher
Mark Fisher, also known as k-punk, was a writer, critic, cultural theorist, philosopher and teacher based in Goldsmiths, University of London. Sadly, Fisher passed away in 2017. Although his blog is not updated anymore, it contains loads of writings over the years. Fisher is best know for blogging as k-punk on radical politics, music and popular culture. In Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative, Fisher describes ‘capitalist realism’ as "the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it". Fisher’s argument has implications for healthcare, as he argues, capitalist realism also means that everything in society is run with a ‘business ontology’ including healthcare and education that are today run like businesses.
