“With the increased prevalence of oversimple glosses on the birth and death of neoliberalism, the publication of Market Civilizations, an edited collection from historian Quinn Slobodian and political scientist Dieter Plehwe, is welcome. In its treatment of “neoliberals east and south,” the book shows how neoliberalism interacts with and within other historical dynamics. Reading the various chapters, it is difficult or impossible to imagine how the end of neoliberalism can be viewed as a straightforward process.”
