Capitalism 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 of its will: the
much-misunderstood managerial class. This group simply happens to
hold power, and hence visibility, but they do what everybody else
does, and would do, all the time. This is because capitalism is an
intellectual outlook that thoroughly directs individual actions
through fascist and non-fascist repression. This book argues that
the only way to escape capitalism is to recover individual
intellectual and sentimental emancipation from capitalism itself in
order to produce radical solutions. This volume is of great
importance to those who study and are interested in political
economy, economic theory and philosophy, as well as fascism and
neoliberalism.
