Science and Technology in the United States: Hegemony under Fire

Center for International Economic Research, University of Havana

As many studies have pointed out, the United States has undergone a loss of hegemony (in the Gramscian sense) despite the increase in its economic, military, and techno-scientific power over time. One of the least researched aspects of this process is the complex social impact of the techno-scientific factor on the capitalist cycle in general and on the mid-1990s concept of the New Economy based on the rise of information and communications technologies in particular. This concept, one of the main underpinnings of neoliberal global-iza‘tion, was undermined by the capitalist crisis at the beginning of the new millennium.

Key Words: New Economy • information and communications technology • capitalism • neoliberalism • globalization
