Rezensionen

"It makes a significant contribution to the political economy of punishment by closely scrutinising the impact of the neoliberal ethos and rationales on three key public policy fields, that is, labour policies, social policies, and penal policies. [...] [Neoliberalism and Punishment] goes a long way in revitalising and updating academic debates on the neoliberal penality thesis."
- José Brandariz, Universidade da Coruña

"González-Sánchez extends, enriches and challenges the "neoliberal penality thesis" I proposed a decade ago in Punishing the Poor"
-Loïc Wacquant, University of California, Berkeley
