Resumo
In this polemical analysis of the rise of neoliberalism in the UK and the political culture it threw up, the author argues that the market state no longer serves the nation, but transnational capital. Consequently, inequality and poverty have been structured into society. Government rhetoric about the small state, 'big society' and localism are cons that smooth the way to privatisation, the undermining of democracy, and the imposition of market morality. It is by resisting the market state and its political culture that new social movements can 'socialise' global capital-in-crisis as the labour movement once socialised industrial capital.
