Ebook: After Neoliberalism? The Kilburn Manifesto

This book brings together in one volume contributions made to the public debate that has developed around the Kilburn Manifesto, a Soundings project that seeks to map the political, economic, social and cultural contours of neoliberalism. The manifesto opens with a framing statement and each chapter then analyses a specific issue or theme. The contributors call into question the neoliberal order itself, and find radical alternatives to its foundational assumptions.

'The Kilburn Manifesto is a fitting testament to the contribution of Stuart Hall to British political life. It presents an incisive and powerful analysis of the current neoliberal moment making it essential reading for anyone interested not only in understanding the present but also in developing strategies for intervening into it.' Alan Finlayson, Professor of Political and Social Theory at The University of East Anglia

Doreen Massey is Emeritus Professor of Geography at the Open University. Michael Rustin is Professor of Sociology at the University of East London. Stuart Hall was a cultural theorist and most recently Emeritus Professor at the Open University. Stuart died during the development of the manifesto project, but his energy, politics and ideas continue to be the foundation on which the manifesto is based.
