Variegated Neoliberalism

Huw Macartneys outstanding book represents a major step forward in our understanding of how neoliberalism has played out in contemporary Europe. It is also a very significant contribution to the growing literature on the role of ideas in political economy. - Ben Rosamond, Professor, University of Warwick, UK Not since Kees van der Pijl's The Making of an Atlantic Ruling Class have we had such a fine-grained exploration of how exactly transnationally-oriented classes engage with states and economies in order to cement a genuinely hegemonic order. Huw Macartney has done the research, and we are the wiser for it. His argument is one that every student of the contemporary global order will need to consult. - Randall Germain, Professor, Department of Political Science, Carleton University, Canada
