Description
Never Ending Nightmare: The Neoliberal Assault on Democracy
Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval explore how neoliberalism has survived and even thrived in the aftermath of the 2008 economic crisis, defying predictions that it would collapse. They argue that neoliberalism is a self-reinforcing system supported by powerful oligarchies, which has become an effective mode of government.
The authors contend that this system has successfully prevented any course correction and has instead led to increased disarray and demobilization, hindering democratic activity. However, they also note that recent years have seen a resurgence in democratic movements and experiments, suggesting that the confrontation with neoliberalism is already underway.
