Description

Book Synopsis
Gives a comparative-historical analysis of the development of neoliberal politics in different countries. This book argues that neoliberalism was made possible in the United States and Britain not because the Left in these countries was too weak, but because it was in many respects too strong.

Trade Review
"The Politics of Free Markets makes a substantial, original, and controversial contribution to discussions of neoliberalism, taxation, and welfare policies.... Here, Prasad argues that neoliberal policies... became more prevalent during the 1980s not because capitalists colluded with self-serving politicians but because political candidates discovered that with the appropriate spins many voters would support programs to reduce state economic intervention." - Charles Tilly, Columbia University"
