Neoliberalismo e crisi della democrazia

THE RED DOOR The House of Culture Podcast Neoliberalism and the Crisis of Democracy Neoliberalism permeated our world for about forty years, from the early 1980s to the early 1920s. It established itself as the dominant ideology during the Reagan and Thatcher eras. Following the fall of the Wall, it assumed the form of "one-track thinking." For decades, its axioms have prevailed: the market has become the most important regulator of every aspect of life, while competition and individualism have been its inexorable corollaries. It has reshaped many aspects of public and even personal life. As the years pass, we are beginning to realize that among its most alarming consequences has also been the progressive erosion and crisis of democracy. Now that the ideological grip of neoliberalism is clearly creaking , we must deeply question its long-term action, especially why it has had such pernicious effects on the functioning of democracy. We discuss this in this podcast with Mario Ricciardi, professor of philosophy of law, who for many years directed a prestigious journal like "Il Mulino," recently contributed to the founding of the new journal "Dissonanze," and is an editorialist for "Il Manifesto."
