THE NEW WAY OF THE WORLD - PIERRE DARDOT CHRIST...

This powerful account of neoliberalism as a form of government by major French theorists Pierre
Dardot and Christian Laval explores the genesis of neoliberalism-and the political and economic
circumstances of its deployment-and dispels numerous common misconceptions about it.Dardot and
Laval argue that neoliberalism is neither a return to classical liberalism nor the restoration
of pure capitalism and show that to misinterpret neoliberalism is to fail to understand what is
new about it: far from viewing the market as a natural given that limits state action 
neoliberalism seeks to construct the market and use it as a model for governments. Only once
this concept is grasped will the opponents of neoliberalism be able to meet the unprecedented
political and intellectual challenge it poses.Historian and philosopher Philip Mirowski calls
The New Way of the World: On Neoliberal Society the best modern realization of Foucault's
pioneering approach to the history of neoliberalism. The Los Angeles Review of Books calls the
book erudite and provocative.
