Political aspects of the Knowledge Society in Latvia: neoliberalism, Schumpeterian democracy and populism
One of my papers will be published on the next issue of the Journal Humanities and Social Sciences. There I analyse the term Knowledge Society refering to a peculiar form assumed by the capitalist system in the last forty years, also representing its specific social, economic, ideological, and political systems.
Although there is a strong rhetoric denying it, it is quite obvious that politics and economics are interconnected, at the same time their relationship influences the social dynamics, establishing specific patterns of ideological dominance. One characteristic of the knowledge society is the negation of any form of connection between these variables, denying at the same time its ideological character. The alleged separation of the political from the economic and the social forms the base to Schumpeterian democracy to becoming Knowledge Society’s political model, which is based on neoliberalism by the economic side.
