Many have noted the enigma of neo-liberalism’s survival after 2008 (for example, Crouch, 2011; Overbeek and van Apeldoorn, 2012; Peck, 2013). After all,‘the market’utterly failed to stabilise the global financial system, and governments took over this task applying instruments that violated every rule in the neoliberal book and that would have been unthinkable before the fall of 2008. In The Limits of Neoliberalism Davies traces the development of neo-liberal thinking from its early origins to its near demise and miraculous survival in the global financial crisis. Davies considers the central defining characteristic of all neoliberal critique [to be] its hostility to the ambiguity of political discourse, and a commitment to the explicitness and transparency of quantitative, economic indicators, of which the market price system is the model. Neoliberalism is the pursuit of the disenchantment of politics by economics.(p. 4, emphasis in original)
