Description
Book SynopsisCapitalism is based on a false logic in which all facts and ideas are reduced to a consideration of their feasibility' within the capitalist system. Thus, all mainstream economic and political theories, including those such as Marxism which are supposed to offer an alternative vision, have been stunted and utopian ideas are completely side-lined. In order to constantly work out the feasible, you have to hang on to pseudo-factual concepts: nationalism; a constant drive for efficiency; the idea of nation/state; corporatism; managed markets; business ethics; governance etc. Capitalism is reduced to the management of the economy by states that fight each other and marvel at the independence of finance. All this, the book argues, is akin, intellectually, economically, politically, and unfortunately individually, to fascism.
The Fascist Nature of Neoliberalism offers a brief, provocative analysis of this issue with special reference to the most visible executioners
Trade Review
"Andrea Micocci and Flavia Di Mario make several strong arguments for their ‘fascism-equals-neoliberalism’ claim...an insightful and exquisite discussion of neoliberalism."
