Resumo

This review essay addresses one of the most widely used terms in contemporary social science debates: neoliberalism. The term has been engaged increasingly to depict the uncertainties of our contemporary era, from the global political economy to our everyday lives. Despite this widespread usage, though, it lacks any generally accepted interpretation or meaning. These two edited collections provide opportunities to explore the complex and diverse theories, policies and settings within which neoliberalism has assumed its multiple forms. The essay evaluates how the recognition of complexity and diversity within neoliberalism and its interpretations might help us to achieve greater clarity and mutual comprehension.
