Reviews

Bram Buscher offers an original approach to conceptualizing and examining neoliberal modes of government in action. He uses a richly grounded empirical analysis to shed light on a key puzzle with important political stakes: How are implausible win-win scenarios sustained despite their manifold contradictions, and what kinds of critical work are needed to puncture them? An excellent read. --Tania Murray Li, author of The Will to Improve: Governmentality, Development, and the Practice of Politics
