“Whereas [others] suggest that the downfall of the postwar system in Europe and the United States is the result of the triumph of ideas, Kotz argues persuasively that it is actually the result of the exercise of power by those who benefit from the capitalist economic organization of society. The analysis and evidence he brings to bear in support of the role of power exercised by business and political leaders is a most valuable aspect of this book—one among many important contributions to our knowledge that makes it worthwhile… In analyzing how neoliberalism worked, Kotz makes an important contribution to our understanding of the roots of the economic crisis of 2008 and the failure of the economy to rebound.”—Michael Meeropol, Challenge

“A clear account of the economic achievements and ultimate limitations of Keynesian and neoliberal economic policies.”—Richard Lachmann, Contemporary Sociology

“David Kotz’s most recent book offers a well-written and thoughtful review of the history and possible future of the current neoliberal era… One of the more interesting features of this work is the history Kotz provides of the role played by big business in transforming the policy and institutional environment of the USA… Kotz has written a highly readable book that is easily accessible to the general public.”—Mayo C. Toruño, Journal of Economic Issues
