A Brief History of Neoliberalism

By: David Harvey

Narrated by: Clive Chafer

Neoliberalism - the doctrine that market exchange is an ethic in itself, capable of acting as a guide for all human action - has become dominant in both thought and practice throughout much of the world since 1970 or so. Writing for a wide audience, David Harvey, author of The New Imperialism and The Condition of Postmodernity, here tells the political-economic story of where neoliberalization came from and how it proliferated on the world stage. Through critical engagement with this history, he constructs a framework, not only for analyzing the political and economic dangers that now surround us, but also for assessing the prospects for the more socially just alternatives being advocated by many oppositional movements.

Superb book

Short but dense. Reader was coherent. Does a great job of explaining a very mystified and complicated subject. Recommend 100%.

insightful

Gives a very straightforward fact based account of the history of the current ruling policies. Nice to read a book on politics that is not just propaganda

Essential introduction to neoliberalism

This is truly an essential reading if one is to fully appreciate how class, industry, and capital coalesced into neoliberalism; and the concomitant and compounding influence it has had on domestic and global markets and human potentiality. Very comprehensive overview.

Also, I found the narrator to be perfectly tolerable. Worth the investment, for sure.

A book everyone should listen to/read.

If you have people in your life that you care about, if you have any stake in the future of humanity, the dynamics, knowledge and realities revealed in this book must be considered in our search for solutions to saving ourselves from the imminent destruction of our world by Neoliberalism.

The dangers of neoliberalism

A must read book to understand America and the dangers of neoliberalism. Neoliberalism is the return of the ruling elite.
