Chapters  argue that the neoliberal development trajectory pursued in recent decades is  unsustainable, and posit that neither sound macroeconomics nor empirical  data support the unqualified faith in free markets that inspired it.  The book begins by providing a broad  critical perspective on key concepts such as freedom, free market, free trade,  globalisation and financialisation, before going on to analyse the long and  deep recent crisis as a result of the neoliberal policy strategy adopted since  the early 1980s. The alternative narrative outlined in the book provides  insights into the policy strategy required to achieve a sustainable  development trajectory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-10-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349933747\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-60069-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 329\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44753258315916,"sku":"9781349933747","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349933747.jpg?v=1775963410","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349933747","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
