Excerpt
Neoliberalism’s travels across social and cultural theory and its perceived applicability in heterogeneous sites and forms of critique have been central to its success and calls for its abandonment. Not unlike intersectionality, which we return to later, neoliberalism’s flexibility as a concept has led to its wide uptake and, sometimes, the perception that it has been vacated of meaning and specificity (Davis 2008; Ganti 2014; Harrison 2010). Birch (2015), for example, suggested that:……when [neoliberalism] is used critically to mean almost anything bad or disagreeable from corporate power to rampant individualism, it can end up becoming nothing more than an “anti-liberal slogan” of little analytical use. (p. 573)
