The decline of neoliberalism: a play in three acts

Abstract: This paper aims to examine the political and economic consequences of the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, setting it in the context of a Gramscian interregnum. First, the dismantling of the triangular articulation of the world market that characterized the decade before 2008 is examined. Second, the global protest wave and the electoral shifts observed since 2010 are interpreted as evidence of a crisis of neoliberal hegemony. Together, the economic and hegemonic crises represent the interregnum. Last, … Show more

“…While these groups may adopt certain neoliberal policies in their current society project, they should not be equated with neoliberalism. Regardless of the divergent evaluations of these contemporary developments, both analysis underscore the authoritarian tendencies present in governments backed by extreme right-wing forces, thereby bringing attention to the vulnerabilities within neoliberal hegemony (see also Rugitsky, 2020). Within this context, political forces aligned with the left are often portrayed as "tyrannical" for championing social justice, leading to accusations of curbing individual freedoms and causing the "disintegration of moral fabrics" (Brown, 2019: 10).…”

“…These have been marked by a destabilising questioning of masses of people of the 'reigning common sense' as manifested in the rise of populisms across the political spectrum (Fraser, 2019). According to some (Rugitsky, 2020;Stahl, 2019), this period of crises corresponds to what Gramsci (1971) called an 'interregnum' in which "the old is dying and the new cannot be born" and during which "a great variety of morbid symptoms appear" (p. 276). These crises have now been compounded by the global impact of the emergence of novel form of coronavirus in winter 2019 which brought morbid symptoms of its own.…”

“…Com o componente de apreciação real do salário-mínimo combinado à valorização cambial coincidindo com um período sem restrições externas relevantes, a demanda agregada direcionouse para bens non-tradables, como serviços, ou importados. Assim, mecanismos de causação cumulativa poderiam ser verificados nos quais uma maior contratação de trabalho não direcionaria a demanda para uma dinamização do setor moderno ou mesmo do emprego no setor moderno (RUGITSKY, 2017;LOUREIRO, 2019). O que poderia ser explicitado como uma perda de lucratividade da indústria ou mesmo do emprego a partir dessa queda de demanda setorial, não foi observado inicialmente (DIEGUES; ROSSI, 2019).…”

“…Tanto porque a demanda por serviços se intensificou em virtude da contínua elevação da renda de parcela significativa da população antes excluída do consumo (a chamada Lei de Engel), como também o próprio processo de absorção por parte do mercado de um contingente 'excedente' agrícola e precário diminuiu, incrementando o poder de barganha dos trabalhadores setorialmente e pressionando uma inflação de custos de setores cuja dotação trabalho-capital já é mais elevada (GIOVANETTI; CARVALHO, 2015, RUGITSKY, 2017.…”
