“Reading Melinda Cooper’s Counterrevolution is like drinking from a firehose. So much detail and information on so many dimensions of the neoliberal assault on the New Deal fiscal order are thrown at you in such novel and insightful ways that it is difficult to keep on top of everything. The book provides thoughtful commentary on the primary subjects of supply side economics and public choice theory, but it also wanders through municipal finance in New York City and Ferguson, Missouri, abortion politics, and labour history.”
