Wayoi.Com - Neoliberalism is in the first representative a hypothesis of political profitable practises that offers that human being may better be modern by emancipating private entrepreneurial exemptions and skills inside an institutional model characterised by strong private property rights, free markets, and free trade. The role of the state is to create and preserve an institutional framework appropriate to such practices.

Post-apartheid South Africa quickly embraced neoliberalism, and even contemporary China, as we shall see, appears to be headed in this direction. Furthermore, the advocates of the neoliberal way now occupy positions of considerable influence in education (the universities and many ‘think tanks’), in the media, in corporate boardrooms and financial institutions, in key state institutions (treasury departments, the central banks), and also in those international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization (WTO) that regulate global finance and trade. Neoliberalism has, in short, become hegemonic as a mode of discourse.

Two above paragraph are is my review on the content of the book. It is interested to read this book since Neoliberalism is debated by all of president candidates in Indonesia. With only 256 pages, the book describe the brief history of the book and I think it is important for those who wondered on neoliberalism issues.
