In effect, there is a dominant ideology that has served to unite the interests of a range of powerful political and economic elites under the guise of providing a universal blueprint for progress and development. While there are functional aspects to this ideology (for example, it helps to legitimise the power of private capitalist interests over those of both the workforce and those excluded from work), it is far from being all embracing.
