Klasse!

This book provides a comprehensive history and analysis of the Neoliberal Order. It begins with a short summary of the rise and fall of the New Deal Order, the subject of a previous book by the author. It then explains the initial growth of Neoliberal thought. The remaining chapters retell American postwar history pointing out the influences that Neoliberalism had on that history. It finishes with the Neoliberal Order lying in ruins after the Trump presidency and speculates on what a future order could look like.The book would be interesting to people interested in economics and recent political history. The main weakness of the book is the lack of discussion of Neoliberalism outside of the USA. The introduction is also weak.

Anyone interested in how the recent disturbing developments in the US (Trump etc.) became possible should read this book. The author supremely succeeds in connecting the various elements that have led to the current situation (and that most people may have followed in their daily reading but never quite seen in their interrelatedness).
