description This article attempts to offer a systemic discussion about the paradigm shift away from the neoliberal Washington consensus and its ramifications for the worlds of performing and visual arts.

The article then describes contemporary political economy in the era of post-globalization and makes a few proposals on how the arts can think through it.
