Summary/Abstract: The current situation of neoliberal unchallenged and crushing dominance is by no means disconnected from its economic and social original settings. The commodification of all goods and services, the consumption driven market strategies, the cultural homogenization and the shallow banal intellectual environment, the lack of perspective and the profound loneliness against the brutal forces of the capital, they all point out the catastrophic alienation of those who struggle to make a living by selling their workforce. However, the current situation was set like in a nutshell at the origin of the capitalist system. Therefore, it is worth reading Marx through the lens offered by Schumpeter, who honestly acknowledges his shortcuts and partial failures, yet praises him as a gifted economist, an inspired ideologist and a clairvoyant sociologist.
