A number of people have claimed that the ongoing financial crisis
has revealed the problems with neoliberal thought and neoliberal
policies in the 'Atlantic Heartland'. However, if we look at the
history of the 'Heartland' economies then it becomes evident that
they were never neoliberal in the first place - that is, the
economic policies and discourses in these countries did not follow
neoliberal prescriptions. /We Have Never Been Neoliberal/ explores
this divergence between neoliberal theory and 'neoliberal' practice
by focusing on the underlying contradictions in monetarism, private
monopolies, and financialization. The book finishes by proposing a
'manifesto for a doomed youth' in which it argues that younger
generations should refuse to pay interest on anything in order to
avoid the trap of debt-driven living.
