- Examines various leaders and regimes; and their related neoliberal ideas
- Explores the major political, economic, and social dimensions of neoliberalism
- Clearly and concisely explains the ideas and leaders at the heart of the subject
Anchored in the principles of the free-market economics, 'neoliberalism' has been associated with such different political leaders as Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Augusto Pinochet, and Junichiro Koizumi.
In its heyday during the late 1990s, neoliberalism emerged as the world's dominant economic paradigm stretching from the Anglo-American heartlands of capitalism to the former communist bloc all the way to the developing regions of the global South. At the dawn of the new century, however, neoliberalism has been discredited as the global economy, built on its principles, has been
shaken to its core by a financial calamity not seen since the dark years of the 1930s.
So is neoliberalism doomed or will it regain its former glory? Will reform-minded G-20 leaders embark on a genuine new course or try to claw their way back to the neoliberal glory days of the Roaring Nineties? Is there a viable alternative to neoliberalism?
Exploring the origins, core claims, and considerable variations of neoliberalism, this Very Short Introduction offers a concise and accessible introduction to one of the most debated 'isms' of our time.Readership: General readers, and students and academics in several areas including Political Science, Comparative Government,
International Relations, Economics, and Comparative Political Economy.
