Anchored in the principles of the free-market economics, 'neoliberalism' has been associated with such different political leaders as Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, Augusto Pinochet, and Junichiro Koizumi.

In its heyday during the late 1990s, neoliberalism emerged as the world's dominant economic paradigm stretching from the Anglo-American heartlands of capitalism to the former communist bloc all the way to the developing regions of the global South. At the dawn of the new century, however, neoliberalism has been discredited as the global economy, built on its principles, has been shaken to its core by a financial calamity not seen since the dark years of the 1930s.

So is neoliberalism doomed or will it regain its former glory? Will reform-minded G-20 leaders embark on a genuine new course or try to claw their way back to the neoliberal glory days of the Roaring Nineties? Is there a viable alternative to neoliberalism?

Exploring the origins, core claims, and considerable variations of neoliberalism, this Very Short Introduction offers a concise and accessible introduction to one of the most debated 'isms' of our time.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

This small booklet offers us clear perspective in understanding contemporary controversial word, “Neoliberalism”. By reading this, you can obtain a comprehensive look on this very ambiguous word and how policies based on neoliberal value have been applied regardless of economic situation and social context in various countries.

In this book, neoliberalism is analyzed from three dimensions; Ideology, a mode of governance and a policy package. On ideology, neoliberalism supported by global power elites gives us a clear vision in complex political world and comes to be accepted as indispensable and inevitable idea. In terms of a mode of governance, neoliberal “governmentality” is rooted in entrepreneurial values. Then, government are supposed to form a best-practice governance deduced by self-interested actor responsible to market, instead of servant for public good. Finally as a policy package in general, neoliberalism demands Deregulation (of the economy), Liberalization (of trade and industry) and Privatization (of state-owned enterprises). These three dimensional factors have gradually shaped globalization through 'reform' in individual country.

Through reading this book, what interests me is that in order to implement neoliberal values and polices, against its nominal expectation for slimmed-down government, state necessarily behaves in powerful manner or in some cases autocracy as seen in Junta regimes in South American countries. This might be the case in relation to democracy in the US and Japan where leaderships are strengthened in wartime and quasi-patriotic performing regime and neoliberal was introduced as a “shock doctrine”. These regime tend to call for security and order, thus easily related to neoconservative value. Moreover after the demise of Cold War, traditional leftist parties such like Democratic in the US and Labour party in the UK begun to co-opt neoliberal value through linking them with social justice and global democracy. These policies are implemented by military intervention and neoliberal institutionalism such like NATO, IMF and World Bank.

In order to follow the global trend and understand contemporary world in plain word, this book deserves reading.

5つ星のうち5.0 Required reading for the informed citizen

"Neoliberalism" is not a term that is in the news, but it is something very much with us as it determines how we are governed, live our lives and gain our livilihood. It is in other terms the market driven economy, the corporate welfare state, globalization and the new feudalism.

Citizens have to be aware that there is a very powerful and pervasive interloper in their relationship with elected representatives. Politicians, elected by the people, are too often in service to the corporate good at the expense of the public good. It is no coincidence we are seeing the decline of the middle class in the US and Canada. It is a casualty of neoliberalism.

Neoliberalism is all about deregulation, privatization and the denegration of government. Deregulation has been an utter disaster for the US economy and one of the fundamental reasons it is in crisis.

The book is only intended as a primer on the subject and it serves this purpose wonderfully. It is an enticement to read further on the subject and see for ourselves the corrupted value system that is redefining our cultures.

L'ouvrage fait le job et permet de comprendre ce qu'est le néolibéralisme. La perspective choisie est historique et l'on retrouve les différentes étapes historiques du néolibéralisme: USA, UK, Amérique du Sud, Chine. Il manque certainement des développements théoriques, notamment économiques, pour mieux saisir la logique du néolibéralisme. Sous cet angle le dernier ouvrage de Medema sur la main "visible" est certainement mieux construit. Mais l'essentiel est là et c'est le but de ces ouvrages.

5つ星のうち5.0 A nearly perfect introduction to a highly controversial topic...

Neoliberalism doesn't appear much in everyday conversation, but the concept and its policy implications have affected all of our everyday lives, sometimes ominously. Whether people realize it or not, this once mere intellectual doctrine has spread, since the 1980s, like thick paste over most of the globe. Despite its leftish sounding name, both the political Right and Left have embraced and utilized many of its tenets. Suspicious eyebrows may raise with the fact that both Reagan and Clinton were economic neoliberals. Though their respective implementations differed, both presidents romanced the free market, free trade, welfare reform, deregulation and privatization. Both believed these principles would bring peace and prosperity to a troubled globe. Once the dominant, almost unquestionable, economic theory, neoliberalism has only recently come under fire following the global economic meltdown of 2008 - 2009. But was it to blame for our current financial malaise? In "Neoliberalism: A Very Short Introduction," authors Steger and Roy highly suggest that the answer is a resounding yes. Nonetheless, they provide a very balanced and sober view of this highly glorified and fervently derided doctrine. No potboiling or sardonic platitudes here. This diminutive book, fresh off the press, may stand as the best introduction to neoliberalism available.

A hint as to the book's ultimate destination arrives with a dramatic photo of President Obama delivering his inagural address. Similar foreshadowing appears on page one with a quote from this speech: "...this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control." Many heard the vibrations of neoliberalism's swan song in those words. Following this brief teaser the book quickly backs up some 300 years to some surprising historical revelations. 17th century Classic liberal economics challenged the heavily controlled markets of monarchical mercantilism. Adam Smith and David Ricardo posited self-regulating markets guided by an "invisible hand." So today's "free market" concept, a doctrine often inaccurately ascribed exclusively to neoconservatives, originated from liberal Enlightenment ideas. This endured until the financial train wreck known as the Great Crash of 1929 caused many to waggle scolding fingers at the unrestrained playground the market had evolved into. John Maynard Keynes and other theorists at the time ridiculed the notion of a self-regulating market and slowly New Deal politics seeped into the mainstream. FDR's fundamental policies remained hegemonic until the 1970s crises caused many to question the bureaucratic welfare state. These new questioners were influenced by the ideas of von Hayek ("the Road to Serfdom") and monetarist Milton Friedman. A three letter acronym provided their rallying call: "D-L-P" or Deregulation, Liberalization and Privatization. They called for a free unregulated market unencumbered by government intervention. Basically the antithesis of New Deal thought. As such, they put the "neo" in "neoliberalism" as they touted their stance as a return to "classic liberal" economic theory.

The 1980s brought what the authors call "the first wave" of neoliberalism via Reaganomics and Thatcherism. They each began dismantling their respective welfare states, deregulating markets and privatizing many government held organizations. Reagan also went after deficitspending, but had a hard time reconciling tax cuts and balanced budgets with Cold War defense expenditures. The "second wave" saw the Left appropriating neoliberal ideas via Clinton and Blair. Clinton's flavor attempted to reconcile social justice with free market policies, but he was also the President who both signed the Welfare Reform Act and repealed the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. These acts fit squarely with his neoliberal beliefs.

The book then explores neoliberalism in other parts of the world, completely skipping the administration of George W. Bush. Neoliberalism faced challenges in Japan where Prime Minister Kozumi tried to privatize the Japanese Postal Savings system. China embraced the doctrine in a unique way following the 1976 death of Mao Zedong. Successor Deng Xiaoping slowly introduced free market principles while maintaining a rigid centrally controlled state apparatus. Hu Jintao, the current Chinese leader, has continued and advanced these policies. India also emerged from its socialist past to embrace neoliberal economics under current Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. All cases saw various shades of success economically but increased economic disparity (i.e., the poor became poorer as the rich became richer). The situation was different in South America where what the authors term "coercive" IMF and World Bank conditions obliged countries such as Argentina and Mexico to implement neoliberal policies. Once again the economies seemed to recover at the cost of the growing gap between haves and have nots. A final example of Ghana leads the authors to conclude that neoliberalism doesn't necessarily work in any situation or with any culture.

The final chapter covers territory familiar to everyone: the current global economic crisis. Many blame neoliberalism for the flaming domino crash and some neoliberals, such as Alan Greenspan, have admitted that neoliberlism no longer works. Voices from the Left and Right now call for more regulation, which was agreed upon at a 2009 meeting of the G-20. These reforms have yet to see much light, however, and some skeptics feel they may vaporize. In light of this, neoliberalism may survive, albeit in a diluted form. The authors conclude that the world may see a weaker third wave of neoliberalism or a Global New Deal. We shall see.

A better introduction to this highly influential and pervasive topic is hard to imagine. This highly readable book remains accessible to anyone curious about the forces that have shaped the past 30 years. Though it ultimately seems to discredit neoliberalism as a sustainable political stance, it nonetheless presents its pros while delineating its cons. A sober mood pervades it chapters, though the heat turns up slightly while discussing correlations between neoliberalism and African famines. Ultimately, those who support or chide neoliberalism will learn enough to keep their brains full for weeks.

5つ星のうち5.0 Great Detailed Introduction
2012年8月29日に英国でレビュー済み

I was very impressed with this book. I believe that everyone alive today who wishes to be aware of the economic/political world that they live in should have an understanding of what exactly is neoliberalism. This book is a detailed introduction with enough information to gain some real understanding without being overwhelming to those new to subject matter.

I could write more but it's as simple as that if your fairly new to the subject but would like more then a definition from a search on the internet and something to give you a decent overview that is well written then read this and I'd doubt you'd be disappointed.

I think the author did a good job of trying to not make the subject political, pointing out that both liberals and conservatives have embraced principles of neoliberalism. Although the author may ultimately disagree with neoliberalism, I felt I was getting some direct information that I could decide for myself which was exactly what I was hoping for.
