Reviews

'This book is not just a trenchant analysis of contemporary neoliberalism; it's also a survival guide. For anyone who cares about the social and the receding promise of what was once called public happiness, Neoliberal Culture is indispensable reading. Ventura helps us to get our minds around how the forces of globalization, privatization, and family values have depoliticized everyday life.' Russ Castronovo, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA '... this book is a valuable addition to others that see the period 1978-2008 as a unique stage of American history and to the analysis of a culture that arises out of techniques of government through freedom.' Cultural Politics
