Neoliberalism's Demons On the Political Theology of Late Capital

"In all of the hubbub about neoliberalism, one often feels that there is not much more to say. Adam Kotsko's premise-that the devil and the neoliberal subject can only ever choose their own damnation-is as original as it is breathtaking. Everyone should read this book."-James Martel, San Francisco State University "It's been a long time since I've read something so acutely in tune with its political moment. Both wide-ranging and impressively concise, this book offers one of the most compelling critical analyses of neoliberalism I've yet encountered, understood holistically as an economic agenda, a moral vision, and a state mission."-Peter Hallward, Kingston University London "Kotsko argues that there is no inherent distinction between economic and political realms, with political-theological paradigms configuring the binary relationships for their own purposes.Recommended"-D. K. McKim, CHOICE "[An] important book....Useful to scholars and students in subfields ranging from philosophy of religion and theology to contingently grounded studies of the politics and law....Critical analysis here lays the grounds for constructive work, with Kotsko gesturing toward an as-yet-unknown eschatological future."-Spencer Dew, Religious Studies Review "Neoliberalism's Demons is a concise and persuasive account of the political, economic, and moral universe we inhabit, and is therefore essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand their own condition."-Jonathan Megerian, New Books Network
