新自由主义秩序的兴衰：自由市场时代的美国与世界（PDF）

最全面的描述是新自由主义如何在近半个世纪内主导美国政治，然后与右翼的特朗普主义和左翼的新进步主义力量相撞。
向新自由主义的划时代转变——从广义上讲，这是一个相关政策的网络，减少了政府在社会中的足迹，并将经济权力重新分配给了私人市场力量，这种转变始于20世纪70年代末的美国和英国，从根本上改变了世界。如今，“新自由主义”一词经常被用来谴责一系列政策，从把自由市场原则凌驾于人民之上，到推动世界各地发展中国家的私有化计划。
诚然，新自由主义促成了一系列令人担忧的趋势，尤其是收入不平等的大幅增长。然而，正如著名历史学家加里·格斯特尔（Gary Gerstle）在《新自由主义秩序的兴衰》（the Rise and Fall of the New Eliberal Order）一书中所指出的那样，这些起诉书没有考虑到新自由主义是什么，以及为什么它的世界观在30年里对左右双方都有如此有说服力的影响。正如他所展示的，20世纪70年代出现在美国的新自由主义秩序融合了放松管制与个人自由、开放边境与世界主义、全球化与增加所有人繁荣的承诺。在追踪这种世界观如何在美国出现并逐渐主导世界的同时，格斯特尔还探索了苏联及其共产主义盟友的解体在多大程度上促进了它的胜利，而这一点此前并未得到承认。他也是第一位描绘新自由主义秩序衰落故事的人，其根源是伊拉克重建的失败和布什时代的大衰退，最终导致特朗普的崛起，以及伯尼·桑德斯领导的美国左翼在2010年代的复兴。
这本书是对过去50年不可或缺的全面重新解读，它阐明了新自由主义的意识形态是如何如此融入一个时代的日常生活的，同时探讨了在美国进入不确定的未来时，这种意识形态及其政治纲领还剩下什么。
The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order: America and the World in the Free Market Era (PDF)
The most sweeping account of how neoliberalism came to dominate American politics for nearly a half century before crashing against the forces of Trumpism on the right and a new progressivism on the left.
The epochal shift toward neoliberalism-a web of related policies that, broadly speaking, reduced the footprint of government in society and reassigned economic power to private market forces-that began in the United States and Great Britain in the late 1970s fundamentally changed the world. Today, the word “neoliberal” is often used to condemn a broad swath of policies, from prizing free market principles over people to advancing privatization programs in developing nations around the world.
To be sure, neoliberalism has contributed to a number of alarming trends, not least of which has been a massive growth in income inequality. Yet as the eminent historian Gary Gerstle argues in The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order, these indictments fail to reckon with the full contours of what neoliberalism was and why its worldview had such persuasive hold on both the right and the left for three decades. As he shows, the neoliberal order that emerged in America in the 1970s fused ideas of deregulation with personal freedoms, open borders with cosmopolitanism, and globalization with the promise of increased prosperity for all. Along with tracing how this worldview emerged in America and grew to dominate the world, Gerstle explores the previously unrecognized extent to which its triumph was facilitated by the collapse of the Soviet Union and its communist allies. He is also the first to chart the story of the neoliberal order’s fall, originating in the failed reconstruction of Iraq and Great Recession of the Bush years and culminating in the rise of Trump and a reinvigorated Bernie Sanders-led American left in the 2010s.
An indispensable and sweeping re-interpretation of the last fifty years, this book illuminates how the ideology of neoliberalism became so infused in the daily life of an era, while probing what remains of that ideology and its political programs as America enters an uncertain future.
