The book "Mutant Neoliberalism: Market Governance and Political Rupture" by William Callison and Zachary Manfredi offers a complex and nuanced description of neoliberalism from a multidisciplinary perspective. The book brings together different internationally recognized voices and seeks to provide a clear mapping of an increasingly chaotic and unrestrained world. Using Marxist, Foucauldian, and anthropological theoretical approaches, the book analyzes neoliberalism and its relationship with contemporary political forces. Topics such as criticism of austerity, the financialization of human life, the role of masculinity in the neoliberal subject, privatization in post-socialist territories, the discourse of innovation in universities, and the inherent contradiction of contemporary capitalism are addressed. In conclusion, the book highlights the importance of understanding neoliberalism as a mutant phenomenon that adapts to new changing circumstances, and proposes rethinking alternatives in this context.
