A monumental work ... it has become a key reference point in many discussions of the culture of contemporary capitalism and the politics of neoliberalism. -- Jeremy Gilbert, author of Common Ground This massive book is an astonishing combination - an ideological and cultural analysis, a socio-historical narrative, an essay in political economy, and a bold piece of engaged advocacy ... a dizzying theoretical tour. * New Left Review * A wonderful book. -- William Davies, author of The Happiness Industry Ambitious and fascinating. * Le Nouvel Observateur * This book will no doubt come to be regarded as a contemporary classic of political economy and political sociology. * Political Studies Review * This magnificent book is the sociology of a whole generation which capitalism caught on the wrong foot.
