Introduction
All over the world, the forces of neoliberalism are on the march,
dismantling the historically guaranteed social provisions provided by
the welfare state, defining profit-making and market freedoms as the
essence of democracy while diminishing civil liberties as part of the
alleged "war" against terrorism. Secure in its dystopian vision that
there are no alternatives to a market society, free-market
fundamentalism eliminates issues of contingency, struggle and social
agency by celebrating the inevitability of economic laws in which the
ethical ideal of intervening in the world gives way to the idea that we
"have no choice but to adapt both our hopes and our abilities to the new
global market."[1]
