Goodbye to All That? On the Failure of Neo-Liberalism & the Urgency of Change edited by Robert Manne and David McKnight explores thirty years of politics in Australia and the West, which have been shaped by a dominant ideology: neo-liberalism or market fundamentalism. The book defines the central tenets and the flawed character of the neo-liberal philosophy. It discusses its consequences – growing inequality; weakening social bonds; rising individualism and materialism; paralysis in the face of global warming. It asks whether the era of neo-liberalism is really finished and, if so, what set of ideas and values might now take its place.

With a contribution from the prime minister, as well as leading writers in the field, Goodbye to All That? is essential reading for all those who are concerned about the nature of the current crisis, curious about its deeper causes, and committed to building a fairer social order and a more sustainable world.
