Introduction:
The author states his theme:"Neoliberal ideas - monetarism, deregulation,
and market-based reforms - were not new in the 1970's. But as Keynes suggested
they were the ideas to which politicians and civil servants turned to address
the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression. This book is about why
this happened and how the neoliberal faith in markets came to dominate politics
in Britain and the United States in the last quarter of the twentieth century
up to the finanial crisis of 2008." The remainder of the introduction
describes the political-economic conditions that he addresses in the book.
