After Neoliberalism? The Kilburn Manifesto

by Stuart Hall (Editor), Doreen Massey (Editor), Michael Rustin (Editor)

This books brings together in one volume contributions made to the public debate that has developed around the Kilburn Manifesto, a Soundings project first launched in spring 2013 that seeks to map the political, economic, social and cultural contours of neoliberalism. The manifesto opens with a framing statement that explores the meaning of neoliberalism and introduces the concept of conjunctural analysis. Each chapter then analyses a specific issue or theme. The aim is to call into question the neoliberal order itself, and find radical alternatives to its foundational assumptions.

Reviews

[Harry]

Read out of a dogged loyalty, felt like witnessing a lost and confused relative

[KT]

A good, if brief collection of essays on the issues with Neoliberalism and its radical alternatives

[Lynn]

The world has gone so crazy that this almost seems outdated. We thought there might well be an “After Neoliberalism”; now it appears that neoliberalism is on steroids and determined to burn everything down. Reagan and Thatcher have a lot to answer for.
