With the keen eye of a cultural  studies scholar her innovative book makes a necessary contribution to academic  and popular critiques of the social effects of neoliberal capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-12-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137603418\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-59701-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 176\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44753384243340,"sku":"9781137603418","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137603418.jpg?v=1775963522","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781137603418","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
