Alienation and the Illusion of Freedom in Capitalism: How Does Alienation Shape Modern Life Under Capitalism?

Year: 2025

Type: dissertation

Abstract: In a world dominated by profit-driven systems, the concept of alienation offers a critical framework for understanding the pervasive sense of disconnection and emptiness that characterizes modern life. Karl Marx's initial critique of alienation has only become more relevant as capitalism expands into every corner of human existence, from the gig economy to the commodification of culture.
