Neoliberalism has shaped all societies in the Western world since the end of the Cold War. But what is neoliberalism? American political scientist Wendy Brown demonstrates in her insightful book that it is more than just an economic policy, an ideology, or a reorganization of the relationship between state and economy. Rather, it represents a reorganization of all thought, transforming every area of life and even the human being itself to fit an economic model— with fatal consequences for democracy. A critical, stirring book.
