Beschreibung:This paper is about proving the truth of the following thesis: neoliberal capitalism creates material conditions of existence that produce alienated, depressive-hedonist personality whose main social function is to consume the objects of pleasure industry that would contribute to the growth of global profit rate of current capitalism in crisis . For the purpose of this paper, from Marxian methodological premise of analyzing the objective conditions of human life that enable us to apprehend human being as a real-concrete totality, this investigation analyzes synthetically the dialectical development of human personality from childhood to depressive-hedonistic neurosis by means of the theories of neuroscience and Freudian psychoanalysis. Finally, the influence of economical dynamics on the development of this personality is based on Marxian theory of alienation ( Entfremdung ) which allows us to understand dialectically the link between the depressive-hedonistic personality and the neoliberal capitalist profit.
