Bogdan Costea is Reader in Management and Philosophy at Lancaster University. He is co-translator (with Laurence Paul Hemming) of Junger's The Worker (forthcoming).Anna Yeatman is a professorial research fellow in the Whitlam Institute at Western Sydney University’s public policy program. Her many publications include Postmodern Revisionings of the Political (2014), Individualiztion and the Delivery of Welfare Services (2009) and Bureaucrats, Technocrats, Femocrats (1990).

The Triumph of Managerialism is a most important and timely collection that addresses the complexities of managerialism considered as the ‘mode of governance of the entire system of relationships that is constituted by the synthesis of neoliberalism, capitalism, and technologism’. Wide-ranging historical and analytical perspectives provide a demanding, indeed indispensable decipherment and critique of this totalising system of world control.
