French economists Gérard Duménil and Dominique Lévy proceed from the somewhat heterodox proposition that ruling ideas arise not from their persuasive power or inner logic but from the interest of ruling groups...Duménil and Lévy move directly to the social and political history that led us to this turn, the underlying situation in which such intellectually bankrupt ideas could prevail. And what might become of a world that can no longer sustain such beliefs...Though elements of their analysis proceed (in their words) "à la Marx," the book is scarcely what one might thereby expect--that is, the opposite of [an] unreflective apologia for capitalism's premises...The two argue...that neoliberalism is not a collection of theories meant to improve the economy. Instead, it should be understood as a class strategy designed to redistribute wealth upward toward an increasingly narrow fraction of folks. This transfer is undertaken, they argue, with near indifference to what happens below some platinum plateau--even as the failures and contradictions of the economic system inevitably drive the entire structure toward disaster. Duménil and Lévy offer two provocative and interlocking schemas. They decline the bluntest of Marxist oppositions, which supposes a world divided only between owners and workers. But they equally abjure the endless proliferation of categories and distinctions, the slippery slope of micro-differences that leads to the paradoxical homily of conventional American thought: that individuals are just that, and thereby classless--and that everybody is middle-class. One might well see in this the shadow of Thatcher's other hyperbolic dictum of neoliberalism: 'There is no such thing as society. There are only individuals and families.'

這本書將新自由主義視為一種美國特色的階級+金融現象,階級上資本所有者和管理階層(包括商業經理和政府官員)中的高端者膠閤成為權力階層,但資本所有者掌握最終大權;金融上錶現為金融産品、資本流動和證券化的興起,造成金融資本反過來掌控工業資本。權力階層一方麵將實體産業外遷尋求低成本地區,另一方麵又麵對戰後大眾階層對經濟高增長的渴求、自己又尋求新的掌控整體經濟的方式,故開發齣經常賬戶長期赤字+長期大額赤字+金融信貸泡沫的怪胎體製。此體製下持續存在傢庭消費提高但儲蓄下降、固定資本投資過低,誘發大危機,恰好跟大蕭條時期投資過熱消費不足的誘因是相反的。對2008-2010年金融經濟危機的記錄及同大蕭條的對比極其詳盡。對未來一段時間的預測,此書認為權力階層仍集中在右翼,但改以管理階層為權力中心。
