A Deal They Can't Resist - Adaptive Accumulation and American Public Policy

This work argues that a component part of US neoliberalism involves adaptive accumulation, a process in which capital seeks to enlarge public programs, as a means to reroute public revenues into private revenue streams. Along the way, corporations project quasi-public aspirations as a central part of their commercial mission, as the state carves out new - or expands old - areas of accumulative growth for corporate America.
