Neoliberalism in Multi-Disciplinary Perspective

This volume brings together well-versed authors from four continents to critically discuss the roots of neoliberalism and how academics use the word today. Neoliberalism has recently recycled and mutated towards new forms of radicalization where fear plays a leading role legitimating policies, which would otherwise be overtly neglected by citizens. The authors ignite a new discussion within social sciences, combining the advances of sociology, history, anthropology, communication and the theory of mobilities to understand the different faces and guises of neoliberalism.

Aims to answer with a pluralistic approach the question, What is the meaning of neoliberalism today? Provides a systematic reflection on what neoliberalism is, and addresses a host of problems, which allows the reader to understand the social practices, narratives, and processes that characterize neoliberalism Contributes notably to the grounds of social sciences, igniting a new discussion, which escapes to the unilateral barriers of ethnocentrism
