Al leerlo otra vez, creo que tienes razón, debe decir arraigado.

Notes to answerer
Asker: La idea de que la compensación sobrenatural es la recompensa adecuada para el talento sobrenatural es el súper pegamento ideológico del neoliberalismo, que se ha mantenido firme desde la década de 1980. Me gusta tu propuesta de arraigada con firmeza, lo que me confunde es el género, pensé que se referia al pegamento, talvez sea a la idea, por eso la coma.

el cual se ha mantenido firme


Explanation:
Considero que hay una ELIPSIS en el texto, es decir, una parte omitida del discurso; eso es válido siempre que el discurso, aun recortado, sea entendido por el receptor.

Si se adoptase "el cual se ha mantenido firme", creo que se entendería que es el NEOLIBERALISMO el que se ha mantenido firme desde los 1980's.
