Description

This book is about the transformation of America that has occurred over the past thirty-five years as capitalist logic has expanded into previously protected spheres of life. It exposes the processes that need to be confronted if human potential is to be freed from the increasingly cramped quarters to which neoliberalism has confined it. -- .

Reviews

"A worthwhile and timely book which seeks to offer an analysis of the limits and the limitations of neoliberalism both in terms of those areas of social life that have not been (fully) neoliberalised, and in terms of how neoliberalism can be limited by government policy, social practices, and social action. It contributes greatly to our understanding of neoliberalism, offers new insights, and includes a wealth of contributions across important fields." - Wolfgang Streeck, Max Planck Institute
