Editorial Review
Sean Phelan draws upon a diverse range of theoretical sources ... and a handful of illustrative case studies in order to diagnose the contemporary condition of 'actually existing neoliberalism.' ... Phelan has managed to produce a book that offers both a valuable contribution to the scholarly understanding of neoliberalization and a timely critique of the pretensions of postideological journalists and the disingenuous proclamations of postneoliberal politics.
