It simply moved that search into new markets. Purpose became a brand. Healing became an industry. Spirituality became a lifestyle. Identity became a performance. Loneliness became engagement. Even pain became content.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this critical and deeply reflective essay, Pablo David Hidalgo Rodr�guez examines how contemporary capitalism learned to sell not only objects, but emotional orientation, belonging, authenticity, transformation and hope. Drawing from thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Byung-Chul Han, Mark Fisher, Jean Baudrillard, Guy Debord, Zygmunt Bauman, Erich Fromm and Michel Foucault, the book questions the hidden systems shaping modern exhaustion, anxiety, spirituality, productivity and selfhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a simple attack on capitalism, religion, technology or wellness culture. It is something more uncomfortable: an inquiry into why so many people feel empty in a world overflowing with options, content, products, identities and promises of transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book asks difficult questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat happens when purpose becomes a commodity?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy does modern life produce so much loneliness while keeping everyone connected?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow did healing become a market?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy does authenticity now feel like another performance?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan human beings still create meaning outside systems designed to monetize their longing?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in a clear, provocative and existential style, \u003cb\u003eThe Market of Meaning\u003c\/b\u003e is for readers interested in cultural criticism, philosophy, secular spirituality, modern alienation, consumer society and the emotional contradictions of contemporary life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a book for those who suspect that something essential has been lost beneath productivity, visibility and constant self-improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA book about the search for meaning in a world that learned how to sell it back to us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890517098647,"sku":"9798198202627","price":1180.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798198202627.webp?v=1781180346","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-marked-of-meaning-9798198202627","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
