Capitalism and Schizophrenia

"Capitalism" is an economic system where private individuals or businesses own and control property and trade goods or services for profit, fostering competition and innovation. "Schizophrenia," a mental health disorder, involves a disconnect between thoughts, emotions, and perceptions, often leading to hallucinations or delusions. The phrase "Capitalism and Schizophrenia" originates from the works of theorist Gilles Deleuze and psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, metaphorically exploring the complex, often contradictory nature of modern society and its systems—highlighting how economic and psychological structures can be intertwined and multifaceted.
