The last decades have witnessed a steady increase in popular
discontent with prevailing neoliberal approaches to economy, policy
and society. And yet neoliberalism remains dominant, even in the
context of the ongoing financial crisis. The anti-neoliberal
movement seems disorientated. Typical explanations of this current
contradicatory situation highlight that anti-neoliberal movements
are unwilling to commit to a policy programme, enact effective
political tactics, or challenge state institutions. This book
argues that a more deep-seated problem lies at the heart of these
deficiencies: how the movement approaches the role of ideology in
political action. Reflecting a widely-held belief that ours is a
post-ideological age, ideology has been marginalized or altogether
rejected by the majority of the movement's activists and
intellectuals. The dismissal of ideology has hindered the politics
of resistance and it now becomes clear that a firm ideological
vision is what activists urgently require to defy neoliberal
domination. This book shows the useful nature of ideology, by
exploring continuities between current anti-neoliberal positions
and well-known past ideological arguments that changed the world.
