The dream of contemporary capitalism is that everything should become a terrain of profitable enterprise, including most of what has been seen hitherto as the business of government.
Like total war, total capitalism demands the subordination of everything to a single goal – national competitiveness, as defined by trans-national corporate elites. The result is a dramatic erosion of democracy, social cohesion and honesty in public life. The three essays collected here, which have been hailed as ‘modern classics’, summarise a decade of critical analysis of these dynamics.
