Chapter 1 in A Research Agenda for Neoliberalism, 2017, pp 1-10 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides a general introduction to the book and to neoliberalism as a concept. It discusses the increasing popularity of the term in academic and popular debate, and highlights some of the ambiguities with its use. It finishes by raising three contradictions with neoliberalism and with critical approaches to understanding neoliberalism: (1) the importance of the corporation and corporate monopoly in an era supposedly dominated by markets; (2) the increasing propensity towards rentiership rather than entrepreneurship in the economy; and (3) the importance of contract and contract law in the organization of capitalism.
