Neoliberalism has become the operative buzzword among pundits and
academics to characterise an increasingly dysfunctional global
political economy. It is often - wrongly - identified exclusively
with free market fundamentalism and illiberal types of cultural
conservatism. Combining penetrating argument and broad-ranging
scholarship, Carl Raschke shows what the term really means, how it
evolved and why it has been so misunderstood. He lays out how the
present new world disorder, signalled by the election of Trump and
Brexit, derives less from the ascendancy of reactionary forces and
more from the implosion of the post-Cold War effort to establish a
progressive international moral and political order for the cynical
benefit of a new cosmopolitan knowledge class, mimicking the
so-called civilising mission of 19th-century European colonialists.
