Description

Today power is in the hands of Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

How do we understand this transformation in power? And what can we do about it?We cannot change anything until we have a better understanding of how power works, who holds it, and why that matters.

Through upgrading the concept of hegemony-understanding the importance of passive consent; the complexity of political interests; and the structural force of technology-Jeremy Gilbert and Alex Williams offer us an updated theory of power for the twenty-first century. Hegemony Now explores how these forces came to control our world.

The authors show how they have shaped the direction of politics and government as well as the neoliberal economy to benefit their own interests.

However, this dominance is under threat. Following the 2008 financial crisis, a new order emerged in which the digital platform is the central new technology of both production and power.

This offers new opportunities for counter hegemonic strategies to win back power.

Hegemony Now outlines a dynamic socialist strategy for the twenty-first century.
