The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order

The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order by Gary Gerstle explores the emergence and global influence of neoliberalism, a policy shift that prioritized free markets and reduced government involvement. The book examines how this worldview, blending ideas of deregulation, personal freedom, and globalization, gained widespread appeal over three decades, and discusses the factors that contributed to its dominance, including the collapse of the Soviet Union.
