Neo-liberalism is a new phenomenon, which has swept the world since the 1990s. It is unfortunate that it is linked to liberalism, as a concept, even though it is different. In my view, neo-liberalism is capitalism on steroids. Anyhow, the authors started by providing an excellent description of neo-liberalism, and then went on to describe the various forms in which it is unfolding in the various regions of the world.

This is illuminating and frightening. Nothing stems the tide. Not yet.

An excellent book (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

Delivering his 2009 Inaugural Address in the throes of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s, Barack Obama minced no words as he pointed his finger at what he considered to be the chief culprits of the global financial disaster: greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, and people's collective failure to make hard choices and prepare themselves for a new age.
