In its heyday in the late 1990s, neoliberalism emerged as the world's dominant economic paradigm. Since then the global financial crash of 2008 and the recent emergence of more nationalist ideologies have challenged neoliberal assumptions and systems. This book examines the origins, core claims, and global variations of neoliberalism.

I 1990’erne blev neoliberalisme det dominerende økonomiske paradigme, og statsledere som Bill Clinton og Tony Blair tog økonomien til sig. Grundlaget for den neoliberalistiske tankegang blev dog allerede lagt i årtierne inden med Ronald Reagan og Margaret Thatchers økonomiske politik, men også udviklingen af en neoliberal økonomi i diktatoren Augusto Pinochets Chile. Først i 2000’erne blev neoliberalismen for alvor udfordret – og truet – af den globale finanskrise, hvis lige ikke havde været set siden depressionen i 1930’erne.En meget kort introduktion til neoliberalisme undersøger og analyserer neoliberalismens fødsel og udvikling, dens krav og forskellige former.
