The New Way Of The World: On Neoliberal Society

The New Way Of The World: On Neoliberal Society

What is new about neoliberalism?Â Pierre DardotÂ and Christian Laval contendÂ that it is more than just a newÂ economic paradigm â€” it is aÂ system for transforming theÂ human subject. Rather thanÂ a return to classic liberalism,Â or the restoration of a â€˜pureâ€™,Â unconstrained market,Â neoliberalism envisages theÂ modern corporation as aÂ model for government,Â conjuring a future in whichÂ society is nothing other thanÂ a web of market-basedÂ relations.

Cutting through contemporaryÂ misunderstandingsÂ about its genesis andÂ prevalence, Dardot andÂ Laval distil neoliberalismÂ to its core meaning andÂ examine how it might beÂ challenged on new politicalÂ and intellectual terms.
