      abstract = {"This book offers an important and distinctive perspective  on recent political developments that distinguishes it from  studies of the populist turn by asking about the influence  on developments in governance." Will Jennings, Professor of  Political Science and Public Policy, University of  Southampton, UK "Hits the nail on the head with a degree of  precision and deftness of touch that is both refreshing and  shocking to read." Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder  Professor of Geography, University of Oxford, UK "In this  readable, insightful and illuminating account, Roger Brown  charts the roots and legacy of the four-decade-long  experiment in neoliberalism, and exposes the reality behind  the promises of a stronger economy and a more resilient  society by the free market evangelists." Stewart Lansley,  Visiting Fellow at the School of Policy Studies, University  of Bristol, UK This book assesses the impacts of the right  within the US and UK, forty years on from their initial  effects upon economic and social orthodoxies. It argues  that one way of understanding the main developments in the  political economies of the major Anglophone countries  during these decades is to see them as a conservative  reaction to the New Deal and the Welfare State, and the  associated growth in state intervention, expenditure and  regulation. The recent rise in authoritarian populism can  be seen as a popular response to the policies associated  with this reaction, the response being exploited by  populist demagogues like Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and  Marine Le Pen. Written in a lively and engaging manner,  this book will be of interest to academics and students in  politics, economics, sociology and contemporary history, as  well as general readers. Roger Brown is Professor Emeritus  and former Vice Chancellor of Solent University, UK. He has  written five books and many articles, mostly on various  aspects of higher education policy.},
