Communicology, 6(3), 140-151.5473c7fb-1889-406c-a0f2-2ea0fc4bb0b8http://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/55238We must assess the response of politics to a world that is changing fast and in a way that is increasingly intertwined, complex and unpredictable. Our problem with neoliberalism is not the liberal economy that increased world wealth and brought unprecedented prosperity to emerging countries: our problem is the primacy of the economic markets above every other social dimension. We introduce promise as a major category of analysis that respects time unfolding particularities – contrary to abstract generalities – and helps to rescue politics from the abuses of political fundamentalisms of diverse ideological persuasions.engGeneralityMarketNeoliberalismPromiseProspectiveresearch article
