"""Neoliberalism - what's in a word? Neoliberal Contentions unpacks the multiple meanings and implications of this pervasive concept, policy, and lived experience in civil society. The contributions are beautifully varied, addressing the theoretical entanglements of neoliberalism as well as the contradictions in policy and practice. This is a prime example of inspired 'good thinking' in a highly engaged, readable, and important collection."" --Abigail B. Bakan, Professor, Department of Social Justice Education, OISE, University of Toronto ""This collection shows us that neoliberalism remains a force to be reckoned with. Framed by political economist Janine Brodie's distinctive approach, which underlines the importance of historical context and the contradictory aspects of neoliberal governance, Neoliberal Contentions is both a wonderful tribute and an important contribution. I highly recommend it."" --Wendy Larner, Provost and Professor of Human Geography, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand"
