Tales of neoliberalism's death are serially overstated. Following the financial crisis of 2008, neoliberalism was proclaimed a "zombie," a disgraced ideology that staggered on like an undead monster. After the political ruptures of 2016, commentators were quick to announce "the end" of neoliberalism yet again, pointing to both the global rise of far-right forces and the reinvigoration of democratic socialist politics. But do new political forces sound neoliberalism's death knell or will they instead catalyze new mutations in its dynamic development?Mutant Neoliberalism brings together leading scholars of neoliberalism-political theorists, historians, philosophers, anthropologists and sociologists-to rethink transformations in market rule and their relation to ongoing political ruptures. The chapters show how years of neoliberal governance, policy, and depoliticization created the conditions for thriving reactionary forces, while also reflecting on whether recent trends will challenge, reconfigure, or extend neoliberalism's reach. The contributors reconsider neoliberalism's relationship with its assumed adversaries and map mutations in financialized capitalism and governance across time and space-from Europe and the United States to China and India. Taken together, the volume recasts the stakes of contemporary debate and reorients critique and resistance within a rapidly changing landscape.Contributors: tienne Balibar, Sren Brandes, Wendy Brown, Melinda Cooper, Julia Elyachar, Michel Feher, Megan Moodie, Christopher Newfield, Dieter Plehwe, Lisa Rofel, Leslie Salzinger, Quinn Slobodian

Theorizing Mutant Neoliberalism

William Callison and Zachary Manfredi

To many observers, the present resembles Antonio Gramsci’s depiction of crisis: a historical interregnum in which the old is dying and the new can-1 not be born. In the wake of the 2008 global ﬁnancial crisis, some scholars invoked the image of “zombie neoliberalism” to explain how the reigning form of political-economic governance could persist, as if undead, through the wreckage of its own making. Despite the economic devastation, more of the same neoliberal measures were implemented: liberalization, privati-2 zation, marketization, securitization, and austerity. The zombie metaphor thus alluded to a seemingly consistent body of thought and practice while also ﬁguring this body as a corpse. InThe Strange Non-Death of Neoliberalism, for instance, Colin Crouch sought to understand how neoliberal theory and practice could survive a major ﬁnancial crisis for which it was largely respon-3 sible. Conjuring the image of an undead revenant, Jamie Peck also described “zombie neoliberalism” as the terminus of a once vital project: “The brain has apparently long since ceased functioning, but the limbs are still moving, and many of the defensive reﬂexes seem to be working too. The living dead of the free-market revolution continue to walk the earth, though with each
