A ground-breaking exploration of psychology's role in our modern world.

The politics of psychology meets war and artificial intelligence.

Customer Reviews

A challenging, impassioned, and often unsettling book.

Jan 21, 2026: Nadim Backshov | Author of Against Capitalist Education Overall, Psychology After Capitalism is a challenging, impassioned, and often unsettling book. It will be of particular interest to psychologists and social scientists attentive to political economy, to students of critical methodology, and to practitioners troubled by their own embedding within neoliberal institutions. It will likely divide readers, especially those invested in psychology’s scientific self-image or claims to institutional neutrality. Yet even where one disagrees with its conclusions or finds its polemics overstated, the book succeeds in reopening questions that have too often been foreclosed. It invites being read less as a technical contribution to psychological theory than as a serious ethical and political reckoning with what psychology has become — and what it might still be.
