Description
This book is about the transformation of America that has occurred over the past thirty-five years, as capitalist logic has expanded into previously protected spheres of life. This expansion has had devastating effects on the potential for human development. Looking at how human beings create themselves and their worlds on material foundations of health and the natural environment, through work and politics, the book chronicles how neoliberalism has limited human potential. At a time when neoliberalism’s effects are stirring various forms of popular resistance and opposition, this is a manifesto of sorts for the range of processes that need to be confronted if human potential is to be freed from the increasingly cramped quarters to which neoliberalism has confined it.

Media Reviews
‘A worthwhile and timely book which seeks to offer an analysis of the limits and the limitations of neoliberalism both in terms of those areas of social life that have not been (fully) neoliberalised, and in terms of how neoliberalism can be limited by government policy, social practices, and social action. It contributes greatly to our understanding of neoliberalism, offers new insights, and includes a wealth of contributions across important fields.’ -- Wolfgang Streeck, Max Planck Institute -- .
