‘Flowback: America, Neoliberalism and the End of Globalization’
At its beginnings globalisation was often described in terms of its 'flows'—of capital, commodities, people, etc. The vectors of those flows have all changed now that the neoliberal system is in deep crisis. This paper describes some of those changes and tackles some of the political-economic and cultural questions that America is now confronted with as a result of them.
All welcome for wine and discussion.
