Abstract
In chapter 2 evidence was presented about the strong pro-market beliefs of interviewees. This chapter explores the major implication of these beliefs, namely the adherence of most interviewees to ideologies close to or consistent with Neo-liberalism. In order to demonstrate that Neo-liberal ideology plays this dominant role in the City, it is necessary first to discuss relevant theoretical concepts and certain issues of method.
The more pure and limited capitalist viewpoint is at its most trenchant and pervasive in the City. — R. Spiegelberg1
