Theory, Power and the Project of a Neoliberal Society: An Introduction to the Special Issue

Paolo Ramazzotti

Forum for Social Economics, 2015, vol. 44, issue 2, 109-114

Abstract: The paper points to the key topics that emerge from the papers in the special issue. It argues that neoliberalism is not a mere ideology but a project for a market-centered society. Its neglect of the social costs arising from low growth and unequal distribution and its disregard for democracy are the outcome of such a project. Consequently, an alternative to neoliberalism requires an assessment of the overall project rather than a mere critique of its theoretical foundations.
