Neoliberalism defeated the 1970s left by installing business thinking everywhere

Evidence

Negri here describes the destitution that the left endured after the defeats of the 1970s: the destruction of all its hopes, the way in which it had been outflanked by a neoliberalism which successfully installed business thinking into all areas of everyday life. What emerges here, in other words, is an account of the immediate after-effects of the installation of what I have called capitalist realism: the view that, since there is no alternative to capitalism, the only possible attitude consists in adjusting to its demands. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1560
