By Laurence Cox We Make Our Own History: Marxism, Social Movements And The Crisis Of Neoliberalism [Paperback]

We are living in the twilight of neoliberalism: the ruling classes can no longer rule as before, and ordinary people are no longer willing to be ruled in the old way. Pursued by global elites since the 1970s, neoliberalism is defined by dispossession and inequality. The refusal to continue to be ruled like this - "ya basta" - appears in an arc of resistance stretching from rural India to the cities of the global North. From this movement of movements, new visions emerge of a future beyond neoliberalism. We Make Our Own World responds to this experience. The first systematic Marxist analysis of social movements, it reclaims Marxism as the theory born from activist experience and practice. It shows how movements can develop from local conflicts to global struggles; how neoliberalism operates as collective action from above, and how popular struggles can create new worlds from below. 9780745334813 0745334814 0 BOOK Political Science NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=tfrPngEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
