• Acknowledgements; Introduction; 1. Toward a Genealogy of Neoliberalism; 2. Progressive Neoliberalism and Its Discontents; 3. Mediatic Hegemony – the Kingdom, the Power, the Glory, and the Tawdry; 4. Killing Us Softly – On Neoliberal ‘Truth’ Protocols; 5. The Epistemic Crisis; 6. Globalism, Multiculturalism, and the ‘Politics of Recognition’; 7. The Deep Political Theology of Neoliberalism; 8. Endings.

In this penetrating analysis of the political forces which underlie the clash of contemporary values, Raschke exposes the extent to which emancipatory discourse has been co-opted to serve the hegemony of global elites. At once provocative and contemporary, this is political theology at its most critical.
