Abstract:
The present article is based upon a round table, in which Colin Crouch, Wolfgang
Streeck, and Donatella della Porta participated, organized in the framework of the
Marxism(s) in Social Movements Working Group at Scuola Normale Superiore
(Florence, May 2015). The roundtable was the concluding moment of a cycle of
conferences aimed at rethinking some of the categories of social movement studies
in light of the changes in contemporary capitalism within its global crisis.1 A central
question of the debate is how much capitalism needs democracy. The debate
departs from the strengths and weaknesses of neoliberal capitalism, the global
economic crisis and the new scenarios that the latter opens.
