Description:
This book argues that neoliberalism is the contemporary form of capitalism, focusing on a materialist understanding of its workings as a modality of social and economic reproduction, and its everyday practices of dispossession and exploitation.
Review Quotes:
"While presenting a powerful analysis of the global structural transformations involved in the transition to neoliberalism, this volume avoids the trap of seeing this transformation as a primarily homogenising force. On the contrary global neoliberalism has reconstituted the economic and social institutions of capitalism differently in each country and region. It is precisely these differences that constitute one of the strengths of neoliberalism. This book is the definitive exploration of neoliberal transitions in a range of the most important middle income countries."
