Abstract
Neoliberalism has become a relatively popular concept in critical scholarship, having been used in a variety of contexts while taking on a range of meanings (Boas and Gans-Morse, 2009; for surveys, see Saad-Filho and Johnston, 2005b; Roy et al., 2006; Steger and Roy, 2010). In this book, the word is used to refer to a set of ideas and practices whose objective is to restore, increase and maintain the power of economic elites relative to ordinary people. It is a class project that has developed as a response to the erosion of the corporate sector’s economic power during capitalism’s ‘golden age’ that lasted from the end of World War II until the late 1960s (Harvey, 2005a; Dumenil and Levy, 2004, 2011).
