About this title: Neoliberalism - the doctrine that market exchange is an ethic in itself, capable of acting as a guide for all human action - has become dominant in both thought and practice throughout much of the world since 1970 or so. Its spread has depended upon a reconstitution of state powers such that privatization, finance, and market processes are emphasized. State interventions in the economy are minimized, while the obligations of the state to provide for the welfare of its citizens are diminished. David Harvey, author of 'The New Imperialism' and 'The Condition of Postmodernity', here tells the ...

"Harvey puts together a unapologetically biased, but thorough and insightful history of the Neoliberal movement in 20th century economics. This text presents, in very comprehensible language, an explanation for the spread of Neoliberal theory, a scathing indictment of unregulated free market capitalism, and a grim but thoughtful look at what we can expect from macroeconomics in the years to come. A truly great primer for students, teachers, activists, and political agents looking to gain a greater understanding of the history and dangers of the rhetoric of "freedom.""
"This book was fairly interesting- I knew very little about neoliberalism and the US development agenda post-Cold War. Would not recommend it if you aren't interested in learning a lot about Reagan and how badly the US deals with foreign policy/aid."
"Harvey expertly traces the appearance and current trajectory (as well as future prospects) of neoliberalism, plainly revealing the threat it poses to democracy, as well as the quality of life of the vast majority of the world's inhabitants. Most helpfully, Harvey separates the academic notion of neoliberalism, which has few true adherents (how else to explain why the US pushes for "free markets" abroad while heavy subsidizing industry and agriculture at home?), with its practical application: a club which the economic elite uses to reassert its wealth and privilege and beat down everyone else.
Surprisingly, given the pivotal nature of Chile's at-gunpoint experiment under Pinochet as a petri dish of neoliberalism (as well as Pinochet's image being on the cover), Harvey largely skims over how this has served as a model for wealthy nations seeking to impose neoliberalism on other poor ones by force."
"I consider this the most important book I've read this summer. I have yet to see or read a book that better explains the consequences of Neoliberalism. Not just the economic consequences but also the consequences to our freedom by intertwining a theory from Karl Polanyi. Its only 170+ pages. Read this book in your lifetime!"
