This essay is envisioned as an ideal logbook for these stormy times, aiming to provide an organic, albeit broad, framework to interpret the significant and rapid changes shaping the present. Its primary goal is to offer a compass to help understand the historical period we are living through. However, an analytical effort is necessary to pave the way for reflecting on possible paths to break free from the dominant ideology of the past 40 years: the “there is no alternative” mantra of all-against-all competition reminiscent of Thatcherism. In the current context, seeking an alternative has become both necessary and urgent.
