A distinctive monograph that speaks to the vast majority of the working population, to all those affected by the current relentless crisis.

Éric Toussaint, with particular quality and vividness, offers a historical overview and analysis of neoliberalism while making the complexity of the crisis understandable to the general public.

He briefly presents the causes as well as the way in which neoliberalism became the hegemonic ideology of contemporary capitalism.

He analyzes the fundamental mistakes, inconsistencies, sleight of hand, and absurdities of the key doctrines of neoliberal ideology, the deadlocks that the implementation of these doctrines has accumulated, as well as the reasons why, despite the obvious failure of these doctrines, they continue to dominate hegemonic circles and decision-making centers.
