Produktbeschreibung

Presenting a critical evaluation of the evidence supporting claims of rupture of, or incursions into, the Neoliberal model, this book presents an informed, constructive dialogue around the thesis that we have reached some institutional and material limits. It also analyzes pragmatic responses to these critiques including policy initiatives, social mobilization and experimentation at various scales and points of entry.
