“The neoliberal policies implemented first by the Thatcher governments in the 1980s and continued by New Labour and the current coalition have resulted in a privatisation of stress.”

English writer and critic

Mark Fisher was an English writer, music critic, political and cultural theorist, philosopher, Marxist, and teacher. He worked in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, and first came to wider attention through his early-2000s blog posts as k-punk. He was known for writing about radical politics, music, and popular culture. His work moved between criticism and theory, combining cultural analysis with political ideas and a close interest in the media and music scenes of his time.
