Additional text
"The Violence of Neoliberalism: Crime, Harm and Inequality is an important critical, scholarly work exploring the emergence of neoliberalism and its relationship to globalization, free-market economics and the resultant pernicious outcomes of this ideology."
Gary Potter, Professor and Associate Dean, Eastern Kentucky University, USA
"Rothe and Collins advance a searing critique of the inherently violent and harm-generating monstrosity of neoliberalism. This book challenges scholars to think beyond extant criminological and zemiological literature on how violence & harm are inextricably woven into the fabric of capitalism, states, governments, institutions, and even well-meaning or seemingly innocuous people and organizations. Ruthlessly critical and unapologetically ambitious, The Violence of Neoliberalism stands as a raised-fist treatise on the inevitability and intractability of direct and indirect violence in the hyper-modern era."
David Kauzlarich, Professor and Headof Sociology, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA
