Today power is in the hands of Wall Street and Silicon Valley. How
do we understand this transformation in power? And what can we do
about it? We cannot change anything until we have a better
understanding of how power works, who holds it, and why that
matters. Through upgrading the concept of hegemony-understanding
the importance of passive consent; the complexity of political
interests; and the structural force of technology-Jeremy Gilbert
and Alex Williams offer us an updated theory of power for the
twenty-first century. Hegemony Now explores how these forces came
to control our world. The authors show how they have shaped the
direction of politics and government as well as the neoliberal
economy to benefit their own interests. However, this dominance is
under threat. Following the 2008 financial crisis, a new order
emerged in which the digital platform is the central new technology
of both production and power. This offers new opportunities for
counter hegemonic strategies to win back power. Hegemony Now
outlines a dynamic socialist strategy for the twenty-first century.
