Capitalism is in crisis today, while the neoliberal economic model that has been pursued in order to move out of the crisis has also not succeeded. There are also major disruptions in both economic and social polity, and uncertainties due to change and conflict within social relations. This book analyses these issues from a global perspective, with particular reference to India, in order to determine what can be done to provide this transitory situation with a direction of change.

The essays gathered here counter the neo-liberal myth built on the premise that this is an era “free of ideology”, and reconstruct the concept of ideology and its various ramifications. The book also delves into how the dynamics of the overall economic situation today give rise to various possibilities for change, and details holistic plans of possible future actions.
