Challenging the Neoliberal City

Neoliberalism
Its the name given to describe an ideological economy.
Also called corporative capitalism, corporative globalization and economy suicide…
This ideology is the one that has domain in politics of global economy.
It become the central government of economy onces 25 or 30 years ago since 1930 until the end of 70´s, founded by the ideas of economist John Maynard Keynes and the influence he had on the “Keynism”.
Says that:
State must take an active place on manage of economy in its country.

The state must place rules supervise market and organize economy until its own business; also must have regulation on market not replacing it for other one.
The objective is to allow corporations and investors to estimate their profits among all the world.


Strategies for challenging neoliberalism
•Decoupling neoliberalism:
Neoliberalism, in my view owes much of its current power to its proponents ability to use other movements and ideologies as political cover.
•it means that we should aim to reveal and separate neoliberalism from the other movements to which it has been attached, and from which it gains some popular legitimacy.

•Radical conservatives have not only successfully mobilized the institutions of the Religious Right for neoliberal purposes like lower taxes and deregulation they have also managed to lend a sort of spiritual credibility to neoliberalism by invoking a literal divine inspiration.

But while a comprehensive, progressive solution to the various problems to which neoliberal solutions are thrown, may be impractical without the think-tanks and ideologues that the Right enjoys, it is far from impractical for the Left to challenge the individual premises upon which neoliberal solutions are built.

•Cities are thus, by default, more vulnerable to the decisions of capital market gatekeepers.
