这篇对温迪·布朗的《破坏民主》的评论认为，当代新自由主义的进程正在破坏民主的核心原则。有人认为，布朗效仿福柯将新自由主义定义为一种政治理性的形式是正确的，但本书的核心论点可以通过关注以下几点来进一步发展：(1)美国以外的新自由主义政治和实践的运作；(2)奥地利思想在新自由主义理性历史中的地位；(3)经济人在新自由主义思想中的问题地位；(4)为什么新自由主义的软实力被证明是如此有效；以及(5)马克思主义资本理论如何与福柯对新自由主义的批判一起发展。
This review of Wendy Brown’s Undoing the Demos considers the claim that contemporary processes of neoliberalism are damaging the core principles of democracy. It is argued that Brown is right to follow Foucault in defining neoliberalism as a form of political rationality, but that core arguments of the book could be developed further through attention to the following points: (1) the operation of neoliberal politics and practices outside of the US context; (2) the position of Austrian thought within the history of neoliberal reason; (3) the problematic status of homo economicus within neoliberal thought; (4) why the ‘soft power’ of neoliberalism has proved so effective; and (5) how a Marxist theory of capital might be developed alongside Foucauldian critique of neoliberalism.
