The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order: America and the World in the Free Market Era

The Neoliberal Order by Gary Gerstle is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the little-known history of neoliberalism, a web of policies that reduced government intervention in society and reassigned economic power to private market forces.

This epochal shift fundamentally changed the world, leading to a massive growth in income inequality and the emergence of a new global order.

Through a detailed exploration of how this worldview emerged in America and spread globally, Gerstle reveals the previously unrecognized extent to which its triumph was facilitated by the collapse of the Soviet Union and its communist allies.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of neoliberalism and its impact on contemporary society.
