About this book

Neoliberal Culture presents a critical analysis of the impact of the global free-market - the hegemony of which has been described elsewhere by the author as 'a short counter-revolution' - on the arts, media and everyday life since the 1970s.

Reviews

"Ever a master of compelling and detailed critique, here Jim McGuigan completes the work he started with Cool Capitalism. Neoliberal civilisation is sharply dissected and displayed for analysis this book is a must-read and will shape the debate to come." Monica Sassatelli, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
