Book Synopsis
Morality is often imagined to be at odds with capitalism and its focus on the bottom line. In this book, morality is shown as the opposite: an indispensable tool for capitalist transformation. It presents an argument that the neoliberal state nurtures selflessness in order to cement some of its most controversial reforms.

Trade Review
"The Moral Neoliberal is an outstanding book addressing with great precision and authority a decisive series of transformations unfolding in Italy and, by extension, across Europe. The ethnographic narrative is vibrant, the argumentation is crisp, and the analysis is persuasive. Andrea Muehlebach provides an alternative architecture of a 'moral neoliberalism' populated by engaged, reflexive subjects who are experimenting with the imperatives of what she terms 'ethical citizenship.' The results are breathtaking." (Douglas Holmes, State University of New York)"
