This book presents a polemical account of the historical
development of the neoliberal imagination. Inspired by the thought
of Frederic Jameson, Bernard Stiegler, and Timothy Morton, it
argues that the evolution of virtual and information technologies
has transformed the ideological imaginary of capitalism. Owing to
the inseparability of the process of commodification from
developments in the sphere of media technology - particularly the
rise of the digital networks through which information is processed
and disseminated - the aesthetic forms of the neoliberal imaginary
are not external to the accelerated productivity and adaptability
of human beings. Rather, they are essential both to the vision of
progress that informs the technoscientific organization of
capitalist society and to the practical formation of 'the self'
that takes place within its networks. A snapshot of the evolving
'world picture' that is formed in the neoliberal imagination as
articulated in its particular regime of capitalization, The
Neoliberal Imagination will appeal to scholars of social theory and
social philosophy with interests in neoliberalism.
