Immanent Critique, Enabling Myths, and the Neoliberal Narrative

Mary V. Wrenn

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2016, vol. 48, issue 3, 452-466

Abstract: This research aims to untangle and critically assess the core enabling myths of neoliberalism. The first step is to outline in brief the method of immanent critique, how it works, as well as its advantages and possible limits. The next step is to use immanent critique to strip the neoliberal narrative to its core, organizing myths: the myths of privatization, deregulation, and retrenchment of the welfare state.
