The first book to investigate the relevance of Theodor W. Adorno's
work for theorizing the age of neoliberal capitalism. Through an
engagement with Adorno's critical theory of society, Charles Prusik
advances a novel approach to understanding the origins and
development of neoliberalism. Offering a corrective to critics who
define neoliberalism as an economic or political doctrine, Prusik
argues that Adorno's dialectical theory of society can provide the
basis for explaining the illusions and forms of domination that
structure contemporary life. Prusik explains the importance of
Marx's critique of commodity fetishism in shaping Adorno's work and
focuses on the related concepts of exchange, ideology, and natural
history as powerful tools for grasping the present. Through an
engagement with the ideas of neoliberal economic theory, Adorno and
Neoliberalism criticizes the naturalization of capitalist
institutions, social relations, ideology, and cultural forms.
Revealing its origins in the crises of the Fordist period, Prusik
develops Adorno's analyses of class, exploitation, monopoly, and
reification to situate neoliberal policies as belonging to the
fundamental antagonisms of capitalist society.
