The growth of neo-liberalism has been the dominant political force in the past two decades. This volume concentrates on understanding the political economy of neo-liberalism. It focuses on a number of the most critical issues and examines the essence of neo-liberalism, namely, the dominance of the market.

In particular, the authors consider:

* the political economy of market expansion
* the rise of neo-liberalism in advanced capitalist economies
* the notion of social capital
* the nature of economic imperialism
* the political economy of central bank independence
* the relationship between Keynes and Marx.

With contributions by some of the leading scholars in the field, this vital new book on the political economy of neo-liberalism and the dominance of the market will become essential reading for all those with an interest in post Keynesian economics, political economy and international economic policy.
