Neoliberalism's failings as a social order are a commonplace in the critical social sciences, and lately such critique has even been ventured from within the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. How has such a problematic form of capitalism both sustained criticism and flourished? Chilean neoliberalism might tell us something of how neoliberal forms weather critique to sustain elite power and significant social inequality, that is, how neoliberalism 'fails forward'? We examine a case study in the Chilean mining city of Calama where a series of communal strikes and the authorities' response demonstrate the resilience of neoliberalism and its significant failures that citizens experience as abandonment
