Neoliberalism: The Key Concepts

Neoliberalism: The Key Conceptsprovides a critical guide to a vocabulary of terms that have become dominant over the past thirty years. The language of neoliberalism both expresses and helps to create a vision of political, economic and social life which some find appealing and others find alarming. Such concepts are, however, often difficult to understand, particularly because they contain multiple meanings and are informed by power relations. This book will unpack, explore and critique key terms such as:

• Capitalism
• Choice
• Development
•  Flexibility
• Global
•  Governance
• Individual
• Market
• Network
• Participation

Complete with an introductory essay, cross-referencing and a bibliography, this book provides a complete introduction to the critical study of neoliberalism in all its forms.
