The decline of neoliberalism: a play in three acts

Fernando Rugitsky ()

Brazilian Journal of Political Economy, 2020, vol. 40, issue 4, 587-603

Abstract: This paper aims to examine the political and economic consequences of the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, setting it in the context of a Gramscian interregnum. First, the dismantling of the triangular articulation of the world market that characterized the decade before 2008 is examined. Second, the global protest wave and the electoral shifts observed since 2010 are interpreted as evidence of a crisis of neoliberal hegemony. Together, the economic and hegemonic crises represent the interregnum. Last, it is argued that the fight against the pandemic may lead to the overcoming of neoliberalism. JEL Classification: B51; E02; O57.
