Description
The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order: America and the World in the Free Market Era by Gary Gerstle The neoliberal order that emerged in the United States in the 1970s had a profound impact on the world, shaping economic policy and global relations for nearly half a century. This sweeping account explores how neoliberalism came to dominate American politics, its key components, and its far-reaching consequences. Gerstle examines the complex web of ideas that underpinned neoliberalism, including deregulation, personal freedoms, open borders, and globalization. He also reveals how the collapse of the Soviet Union and its communist allies facilitated the triumph of neoliberalism. Through a nuanced analysis, Gerstle sheds light on the full contours of neoliberalism and its enduring hold on both the right and the left. By tracing the emergence and rise of neoliberalism, Gerstle provides a unique perspective on the epochal shift that fundamentally changed the world. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of modern history and its ongoing impact on global politics and economies.
