Rezensionen

"This book distinguishes itself by placing its central emphasis on the dialectical character of social thought(s), while seeking to reveal the value of dialectical thinking for the analysis of the contemporary social world. ... this rich and timely book is highly likely to appeal to anyone interested in addressing the theoretical challenges posed by the neoliberal condition." (Charles Masquelier, Sociology, Vol. 50 (3), June, 2016)
