The chapters demonstrate varieties of neoliberal epistemology beyond market worship, and proposals for policy beyond a bullet-point list of edicts. They outline a vision of subjectivity beyond the atomized utility-maximizing individual, and of organization beyond the shock doctrine. Grasping neoliberalism in its complexity will help its opponents better identify their antagonist, and its advocates contend both with the departures from classical liberalism and with the absence of a unified theory. … There has, however, certainly been a stronger dose of serious conflict in the neoliberal camp, and we can expect more of it in the face of serious challenges to the competitive order in issues like climate change, growing inequality, and mass human mobility.
