Abstract. We 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.
Keywords: promise, generality, prospective, neoliberalism, markets
