Tyler is hard enough to resist. Put a baby goat in his arms? I’m done for.

Yes, he’s gorgeous. Yes, we have instant chemistry.

But this summer is all about convincing my skeptical parents I’m ready to run our family farm. I can’t afford to give Tyler’s smoldering smile a passing glance.

Fine. I glance. And possibly . . . kiss.

But then I go home all the way to a different state. Crisis averted.

Until Tyler shows up in North Carolina looking for a job. Of course, I give him one. We’ve already established I’m terrible at resisting his charm.

It’s a disaster waiting to happen. Tyler doing manual labor within easy sight of my office window. Me trying NOT to randomly tumble into his arms. But no matter how cute he looks holding a baby goat, he’s off-limits until I earn my dad’s trust.

But what if pushing him away for now means losing him forever?

Political Philosophy
There should no longer be any doubt: global capitalism is fast approaching its terminal crisis. Slavoj Žižek has identified the four horsemen of this coming apocalypse: the worldwide ecological crisis; imbalances within the economic system; the biogenetic revolution; and exploding social divisions and ruptures. But, he asks, if the end of capitalism seems to many like the end of the world, how is it possible for Western society to face up to the end times? In a major new analysis of our global situation, Žižek argues that our collective responses to economic Armageddon correspond to the stages of grief: ideological denial, explosions of anger and attempts at bargaining, followed by depression and withdrawal.
