It is contended that, those who argue for the demise of neo-liberalism tend to see it in purely economic or socio-political terms and do not deconstruct its epistemological, methodological or ontological dimensions. Thus, they tend to treat neo-liberalism as a monolithic entity and to adopt a crude reading of hegemony as some form of ideological or cultural domination which leads to an overemphasis on the agency of anti-capitalist or anti-neolibe…
