Acknowledgements

In writing this book, we have benefited from the help and insights of Melinda Cooper and David Primrose, as well as our colleagues in the Department of Political Economy, a collective of critically minded scholars of which we are proud to be part. Although this study does not deal with neoliberalism in the university, the managerial animosity that the mere existence of the department has provoked since we both joined about a decade ago stands as a constant reminder of the relevance of neoliberalism. Many thanks to Colin Crouch and one other anonymous referee, who offered very helpful comments on the manuscript. Louise Knight and Nekane Tanaka Galdos expertly guided the book to publication, offering both patience and encouragement when needed. Tim Clark did a wonderful job copy-editing the manuscript. Martijn Konings gratefully acknowledges research support from the Australian Research Council under grant number DE120100213. We would each like to thank our families for their love, patience and support.
