Abstract

The 21st century world of neo-liberalism will become increasingly vulnerable to its own contradictions. The ongoing turmoil of advanced industrial capitalism is not just about the failure of fundamental economic indicators. Rather, it is about the crisis of dominant neo-liberal morality and politics in the last thirty years.
