Peter Bloom includes a detailed and in-depth analysis of how
marketization is promoting political authoritarianism across the
world. He tells a story of authoritarian progress - where
capitalist prosperity can only be delivered by the coercive rule
of 'self-disciplining' nations and 'disciplining' trans-national
institutions - and in which capitalist sovereignty is replacing
liberal and social democracy. In doing so, Bloom helps readers
rethink the structural as well as discursive role of sovereign
power within capitalism, showing the ways the free market relies
upon a range of authoritarian political fantasies not just for
its growth but its very survival.
