Postmodernism is not the cultural dominant of a wholly new social order, but a consequence of yet another systemic modification of capitalism itself.

Late capitalism has invested heavily in new digital technologies, and claims that these have created a new kind of “postmodern” society.

The old order’s commitment to competing grand narratives – socialism versus capitalism, for example – can now be discarded. As Jameson points out, this simply leaves us defenceless against the power of global capitalism. Jameson still believes that the Marxist analysis of history is the correct one, and that a “new international proletariat” will eventually emerge to overcome late capitalism and its postmodern theories.
