Neoliberalism

Neoliberalism: A Very Short Introduction explores the major political, economic, and social dimensions of neoliberalism. From its heyday in the late 1990s when it became the world’s dominant economic policy, neoliberalism has suffered a major setback with the financial crisis. Who have been the key thinkers and political advocates of neoliberalism? Is neoliberalism doomed or will it regain its former ascendance? Is there a viable alternative to neoliberalism? This VSI examines these questions as it explores the origins, core claims, and the different ideas and leaders at the heart of one of the most debated ‘isms’ of our time.
