Market analysis beyond market fetishism
This article responds to Peck's call for a heterodox economic analysis of markets that is sensitive to their sociality and spatiality with Polanyi's work as a starting point. It is argued that while Polanyi's concept of the socially embedded economy offers a useful heuristic for apprehending the social foundations of economic activity, his analysis exhibits 'market fetishism' - a tendency to treat markets as things in and of themselves, without a…
Rethinking the ‘neoliberal thought collective’ thesis
Numerous scholars have identified the ‘neoliberal thought collective’ as the key driver of the neoliberal transformation. These accounts emphasize the building of neoliberal hegemony through the mobilization of this collective, and the New Right parties who aligned to these ideas. We argue that Australia's corporatist road to neoliberalism pushes against this thesis, as the movement found little sympathy among policy makers. Rather, the thought c…
The Sage Handbook of Neoliberalism
Polanyi, Hayek and embedded neoliberalism
Written originally on the seventieth anniversary of the publication of Friedrich von Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom and Karl Polanyi’s The Great Transformation, this article critically analyses how the ideas of Hayek and Polanyi have been deployed to understand neoliberalism. It argues that dominant scholarly interpretations tend to miss the significance of each thinker to an understanding of neoliberalism, as well as some of the key dynamics of neo…

The retreat from neoliberalism that was not: Australia’s Building the Education Revolution
This article examines the durability of neoliberalism in the face of crisis by analysing the Building the Education Revolution (BER), a key part of the Australian Labor Government’s stimulus measures in response to the global financial crisis in 2009. The fiscal stimulus measures enacted by governments in the aftermath of the crisis led many commentators to herald the end of neoliberalism. By examining the design of the BER, however, this article…
Neoliberalism Since the Crisis
How Labour Made Neoliberalism
Critical explanations of neoliberalism regularly adhere to a dominant narrative as to the form and implementation of the neoliberal policy revolution, positing neoliberalism in its vanguard period as a project implemented by governments of the New Right, imposed coercively on civil society by state elites and only subsequently adopted by social democratic parties. In such accounts, labour is typically posited as the object and victim of neolibera…
Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste: How Neoliberalism Survived the Financial Meltdown / The New Way of the World: On Neoliberal Society / Masters of the Universe: Hayek, Friedman, and the Birth of…
Since the onset of the global financial crisis, there has been enormous growth of scholarly interest in neoliberalism—its dynamics, intellectual lineage and its relationship to the crisis itself. O
The End of Laissez-Faire?: On the Durability of Embedded Neoliberalism
When the global financial crisis hit in 2007, many commentators thought it heralded the end of neoliberalism. Several years later, neoliberalism continues to dominate policy making. This book sets out why such commentators got it so wrong, and why neoliberalism remains so durable in the face of crisis.

End of Laissez-Faire: On the Durability of Embedded Neoliberalism
When the global financial crisis hit in 2007, many commentators thought it heralded the end of neoliberalism. Several years later, neoliberalism continues to dominate policy making. This book sets out why such commentators got it so wrong, and why neoliberalism remains so durable in the face of crisis. This book is the first comprehensive critique of the dominant 'ideas-centered' approach to understanding neoliberalism. It offers an alternative v…
Ideas-Centred Explanations of the Rise of Neoliberalism: A Critique
This article critically examines the assumption that the spread of neoliberal policy programs of privatisation, deregulation and marketisation is explained principally by policymakers coming under the influence of fundamentalist neoliberal ideas and the think tanks through which they were proselytised. The article outlines the conditions that must be satisfied for this thesis of ideational causation to be considered plausible. By examining the re…
Market Society: History, Theory, Practice
Market Society: History, Theory, Practice explores the social basis of economic life, from the emergence of market society in feudal England to the complex and interwoven markets of modern capitalist society. This lively and accessible book draws upon a variety of theories to examine the social structures at the heart of capitalist economies. It considers how capitalism is constituted, the institutions that regulate economic processes in market s…

Beyond Neoliberalism? Crisis and the Prospects for Progressive Alternatives
The onset of the current global economic crisis was hailed by many as signalling the demise of neoliberal hegemony. Two years on however, neoliberalism appears to be quite durable. Indeed, after a brief period of Keynesian-type responses, states, on the whole, have embraced neoliberal solutions to the fiscal problems generated by the crisis. Greece, for example, is now following an IMF programme of privatisation and cuts to social expenditure, wh…
Business Mobilisation, the New Right and Australian Labor Governments in the 1980s
This article explores the relationship between social democratic parties and business through an examination of political mobilisations by employer associations in Australia during the 1980s, and the responses to these by successive Labor federal governments. In a period of ongoing crisis in the Australian and world economies, numerous employer groups mobilised politically to effect a neoliberal transformation of the Australian state and economy.…

The Rise and Fall of the Australian Greens: The 2002 Cunningham By-election and its Implications
This article examines the 2002 by-election in the Australian federal seat of Cunningham, in which the Australian Greens secured their first and only member of the House of Representatives. This case study of Greens voting suggests that the electoral support base of the Greens in Cunningham was consistent with what is known about the support base of the Greens elsewhere in Australia. At the same time, it makes the case that local factors were at l…
The Contours of Neoliberal Hegemony in Australia
With neoliberalism now the dominant logic of state policymaking internationally, this article examines the contours of neoliberal hegemony in the specific national context of Australia. It understands neoliberalism as a class-based project, arising in a particular historical context and aimed at dismantling the hegemonies underpinning the postwar social order, thereby creating a new set of conditions for capital accumulation. The article tracks t…
