The evident legitimation crisis and imminent demise of the neoliberal model based on a Washington (now Davos) Consensus has given rise to a new consensus on the need to bring the state back into the national development process in the search for a more inclusive form of development, a new development paradigm designed to save capitalism by giving it a human face. This paper argues the need to move beyond this mainstream post-washingtron consensus in support of an emerging radical consensus within a network of Lain American social movements.
