Conclusion: After Neoliberalism
Adam Kotsko is on the faculty of the Shimer Great Books School of North Central College. His most recent book is The Prince of This World (Stanford, 2016).
"In all of the hubbub about neoliberalism, one often feels that
there is not much more to say. Adam Kotsko's premise—that the devil
and the neoliberal subject can only ever choose their own
damnation—is as original as it is breathtaking. Everyone should
read this book."—James Martel, San Francisco State University
"It's been a long time since I've read something so acutely in tune
with its political moment. Both wide-ranging and impressively
concise, this book offers one of the most compelling critical
analyses of neoliberalism I've yet encountered, understood
holistically as an economic agenda, a moral vision, and a state
mission."—Peter Hallward, Kingston University London
"Kotsko argues that there is no inherent distinction between
economic and political realms, with political-theological paradigms
configuring the binary relationships for their own
purposes.Recommended"—D. K. McKim, CHOICE
"[An] important book....Useful to scholars and students in
subfields ranging from philosophy of religion and theology to
contingently grounded studies of the politics and law....Critical
analysis here lays the grounds for constructive work, with Kotsko
gesturing toward an as-yet-unknown eschatological future."—Spencer
Dew, Religious Studies Review
"Neoliberalism's Demons is a concise and persuasive account of the
political, economic, and moral universe we inhabit, and is
therefore essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand
their own condition."—Jonathan Megerian, New Books Network
