Ebook Free Download | Neoliberalism: А very short introduction | The book then explores neoliberalism in other parts of the world, completely skipping the administration of George W. Bush. Neoliberalism faced challenges in Japan where Prime Minister Kozumi tried to privatize the Japanese Postal Savings system. China embraced the doctrine in a unique way following the 1976 death of Mao Zedong. Successor Deng Xiaoping slowly introduced free market principles while maintaining a rigid centrally controlled state apparatus. Hu Jintao, the current Chinese leader, has continued and advanced these policies. India also emerged from its socialist past to embrace neoliberal economics under current Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. All cases saw various shades of success economically but increased economic disparity (i.e., the poor became poorer as the rich became richer). The situation was different in South America where what the authors term "coercive" IMF and World Bank conditions obliged countries such as Argentina and Mexico to implement neoliberal policies. Once again the economies seemed to recover at the cost of the growing gap between haves and have nots. A final example of Ghana leads the authors to conclude that neoliberalism doesn't necessarily work in any situation or with any culture.
A better introduction to this highly influential and pervasive topic is hard to imagine. This highly readable book remains accessible to anyone curious about the forces that have shaped the past 30 years. Though it ultimately seems to discredit neoliberalism as a sustainable political stance, it nonetheless presents its pros while delineating its cons. A sober mood pervades it chapters, though the heat turns up slightly while discussing correlations between neoliberalism and African famines. Ultimately, those who support or chide neoliberalism will learn enough to keep their brains full for weeks.
