Introduction: The Mythical World of the Crisis Makers

Graeme Snooks

A chapter in The Global Crisis Makers, 2000, pp 1-10 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The major player in this drama about human society and its future is the global crisis maker. He is the economic expert who is attempting to remake the world in his own image through the promotion of economic rationalist or what I will call neoliberal policy. Essentially it is a drama about the triumph of intellectual ideas over everyday experience; about the elevation of the virtual world over the real world. It is the mythical world of the crisis makers that we will explore in this chapter.
