Description for The New Way of the World: On Neoliberal Society
Paperback. .
Exploring the genesis of neoliberalism, and the political and economic circumstances of its deployment, Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval dispel numerous common misconceptions. Neoliberalism is neither a return to classical liberalism nor the restoration of pure capitalism. To misinterpret neoliberalism is to fail to understand what is new about it: far from viewing the market as a natural given that limits state action, neoliberalism seeks to construct the market and use it as a model for governments. Only once this is grasped will its opponents be able to meet the unprecedented political and intellectual challenge it poses.

Reviews for The New Way of the World: On Neoliberal Society
The New Way of the World is the best modern realization of Foucault's pioneering approach to the history of neoliberalism.
