Amongst intellectuals and activists, neoliberalism has become a potent signifier for the kind of free-market thinking that has dominated politics for the past three decades. Forever associated with the conviction politics of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, the free-market project has since become synonymous with the 'Washington consensus' on international development policy and the phenomenon of corporate globalization, where it has come to mean privatization, deregulation, and the opening up of new markets. But beyond its utility as a protest slogan or buzzword as shorthand for the political-economic Zeitgeist, what do we know about where neoliberalism came from and how it spread? Who are the neoliberals, and why do they studiously avoid the label? Constructions of Neoliberal Reason presents a radical critique of the free-market project, from its origins in the first half of the 20th Century through to the recent global economic crisis, from the utopian dreams of Friedrich von Hayek through the dogmatic theories of the Chicago School to the hope and hubris of Obamanomics. The book traces how neoliberalism went from crank science to common sense in the period between the Great Depression and the age of Obama. Constructions of Neoliberal Reason dramatizes the rise of neoliberalism and its uneven spread as an intellectual, political, and cultural project, combining genealogical analysis with situated case studies of formative moments throughout the world, like New York City's bankruptcy, Hurricane Katrina, and the Wall Street crisis of 2008. The book names and tracks some of neoliberalism's key protagonists, as well as some of the less visible bit-part players. It explores how this adaptive regime of market rule was produced and reproduced, its logics and limits, its faults and its fate.

Every time I read about neoliberalism, the disconnect between neoliberalists and the economics discipline could not be more obvious.

評分齣色,態度嚴謹,不粉但也絕非一味亂黑亂罵,采用整理知識史心態寫作,尤其前三章對二戰以來西德秩序自由主義、哈耶剋和弗裏德曼知識淵源與事業的爬梳,對歐美戰後曆史背景引發不同知識潮流的注意,以至各種心路曆程和八卦史,在當下各種批判新自由主義著作泛濫的時間顯得紮實有良心,竊以為甚至可以上升到和哈維《新自由主義簡史》一樣理當必讀的地位。
