Introduction: neoliberalism as a variety of capitalism

.

Chapter 1 in Neoliberalism and the Road to Inequality and Stagnation, 2021, pp 1-8 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter explains the meaning and political economic significance of neoliberalism. As part of that, it explains the politics which have facilitated the triumph of neoliberalism. Contrary to popular understandings, neoliberalism is a bi-partisan establishment project. That helps explain its enduring strength despite its deleterious social and economic consequences. Neoliberalism is identified as a variety of capitalism rooted in political choices. The implication is society is involved in a war of ideas about the type of capitalism we want, and the outcome of that struggle will determine our future political economic trajectory.
