Various presenters contributed chapters, some examining particular theoretical issues and others more empirical in orienta- tion, focusing on politics, policymaking, and issues of governance. An organizing theme for the collection is that neoliberalism is a hegemonic governing ethic regimenting subordinate populations into a market-centered society. For decades now, neoliberalism has been ascendant as the default logic that prioritizes using economic rationality for all major decisions, in all sectors of society, at the collective level of state policymaking as well as the personal level of individual choice making. Neoliberalism promotes a market-centered society and disciplines people to be compliant in adhering to its strictures, incentivizing market- consistent behavior, and punishing people when they fail to comply. The chapters in this volume were in most cases completed before Donald Trump became the US President, with some commentators arguing that his victory represents a repudiation of neoliberalism as a regime of governance. Others have argued that Trump personally embodies a neoliberal approach to governing. Regardless, the analyses collected in this volume are likely to endure in relevance beyond his presidency. For now, neoliberalism remains a flashpoint for political contestation. The essays collected in this volume interrogate neoliberalism critically and therefore provide resources for resisting its ongoing hegemony. This collection of papers is from an impressive group of scholars. They provide important insights on neoliberalism as an ideology and as a practice. Key themes in the various chapters include: Theoretical debates vital for understanding the origins of neoliberalism as an ideology Rethinking Neoliberalism; edited by Sanford F.
