Scope and Contents
For the last three decades, the neoliberal regime has shaped production and consumption in the agriculture and food business. Policies of the new global economy emphasize economic growth through deregulation, market integration, expansion of the private sector, and contraction of the welfare state. Neoliberalism proposes that our well-being can best be advanced by liberating individual entrepreneurial freedoms with the support of institutional frameworks. Have we now reached some institutional and materiallimits? Is the neoliberal regime exhausted? What are the opportunities and risks linked to the alternatives to the neoliberal model? Steven Wolf addresses these questions in a book talk presented at Mann Library in October 2014. The Neoliberal Regime inthe Agri-Food Sector, co-edited with Alessandro Bonanno, presents an informed, constructive dialogue about the limits of neoliberal policies and grapples with the concepts of regimes, systemic crisis and transitions. Dr. Wolf is associate professor in the Department of Natural Resources in Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences,and senior lecturer in the Center for Environmental Policy at Imperial College, University of London, UK.
