Quote from: http://conferences.ted.com/TEDGlobal2013/program/speakers.php#S "Sociologist and philosopher Renata Salecl scrutinizes our individual and societal neuroses, and offers a way out of our current paralysis. Why are we the way we are, as individuals and as larger societies? In her relentless effort to answer this question, theorist Renata Salecl mines law, sociology, criminology, philosophy, and psychoanalysis to arrive at some unsettling conclusions. Salecl—who researches and teaches at universities in her native Slovenia, in New York, and in London argues that the modern, capitalismdriven imperative to become masters of our own lives leads to personal and social paralysis."
