Description: This interdisciplinary collection, featuring some of today's most prominent political theorists, sociologists, philosophers, and historians, challenges narratives of neoliberalism's demise. The book queries whether contemporary political ruptures--including the rise of far-right forces--will challenge, support, or extend the reach of market rule around the globe.

Review Quotes: Neoliberalism has frequently been pronounced dead in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, but the beast lives on. This collection is a strong addition to recent studies of the topic, exploring neoliberalism's relationships with the EU, the far right, populism, and gender.---Doug Henwood, Producer of Behind the News
