OUT NOW!: TURBULENCE 5, ‘AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT?’
Until recently, anyone who suggested nationalising the banks would have been
derided as a ‘quack’ and a ‘crank’, as lacking the most basic understanding
of the functioning of a ‘complex, globalised world’. The grip of ‘orthodoxy’
disqualified the idea, and many more, without the need even to offer a
counter-argument.
And yet, in this time of intersecting crises, when it seems like everything
could, and should, have changed, it paradoxically feels as though very
little has. Individuals and companies have hunkered down to try and ride out
the crisis. Nationalisations and government spending have been used to
prevent change, not initiate it. Anger and protest have erupted around
different aspects of the crises, but no common or consistent reaction has
seemed able to cohere. We appear unable to move on.
For many years, social movements could meet and recognise one another on the
*common ground* of rejecting neoliberalism, society’s old *middle ground* --
those discourses and practices that defined the centre of the political
field. The crisis of the middle has meant a crumbling of the common.
And what now? Will neoliberalism continue to stumble on without direction,
zombie-like? Or, is it time for something completely different?
