Stay Alive
Book • 2021
Michael Harris's 'Stay Alive' draws parallels between contemporary capitalism and the dystopian world of 'The Hunger Games'.
The book analyzes how the cutthroat competition and survival strategies depicted in the novels reflect real-world economic inequalities.
Harris explores themes of exploitation, social control, and the commodification of human life within capitalist systems.
He argues that the relentless pursuit of profit and the concentration of wealth create a society where basic survival becomes a constant struggle.
By comparing these two worlds, Harris critiques the dehumanizing effects of capitalism and calls for alternative social and economic models.
