“With this volume, Slobodian and Plehwe trace the dense and reciprocal circuits of neoliberal exchange between North and South, East and West, excavating how these ideas have been co-constructed from within the political, cultural, and economic terroirs of places too often relegated to the margins of global intellectual history… At its core, Market Civilizations seeks to unsettle narratives that anchor neoliberalism to the familiar dramatis personae of the Western core, repositioning the rest of the world not as passive recipient but as active co-producer. Ambitious in scope and archival depth, the volume is structured in three parts—‘Greater Cultures,’ ‘Other Paths,’ and ‘Radical Outposts’—comprising eleven country-focused chapters, framed by an introduction and conclusion that together offer a significant rethinking of neoliberalism’s global career.”
