The Future(s) of Neoliberalism. 330 $aThis book offers an economic analysis of the causes, development, and likely consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic for global neoliberalism. The analysis will draw upon the author's previous work on neoliberalism, and on its twin crises: the economic crisis (the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), ongoing since 2007) and, subsequently, the crisis of political democracy that has been associated with the rise of 'spectacular' authoritarian leaders in several countries. The approach is grounded on Marxist political economy. The book argues that the Covid-19 pandemic emerges out of this context of deep inequalities and crises in the economy and in politics, and it is likely to reinforce the exclusionary tendencies of neoliberalism, with detrimental implications both for economic prosperity and for democracy. In turn, the pandemic has revealed the limitations of neoliberalism like never before, with implications for the legitimacy of capitalism itself, and opening unprecedented spacesfor the left. This book will be of interest to academics in economics, international relations, political science, political economy, sociology and development studies. Alfredo Saad-Filho is Professor of Political Economy and International Development at King's College, London, UK. 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aEconomics 606 $aHealth Economics 606 $aEconomic Growth 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aHealth Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 615 24$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 676 $a330.122 676 $a320.513 700 $aSaad-Filho$b Alfredo$f1964-$0728478 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910502672403321 996 $aThe Age of Crisis$92569554 997 $aUNINA
